Here are tips for keeping Natural Decor intact

How to keep plants and indoor water healthy and beautiful

Indoor landscape architecture can be a great way to keep your interior design fresh and clean. Whether it's a charming miniature fountain flowing into your living room or a herb garden blooming in your laundry window, taking pieces of garden concepts that are usually seen outdoors and bringing them into your home can definitely change the whole feel of your decor. But since plants are designed to thrive outdoors, it is important to follow some steps to make your indoor flora look good.

Monitor incoming sunlight

Unlike outdoor plants, which often get sunlight wherever they are planted, indoor plants can only get natural sunlight if placed in a window; For plants that are most comfortable in full sunlight, a window that receives sunlight during most of the day (and not just during the evening sunset) is optimal. On the other hand, some herbs and some species of creeping and low-light plants will react negatively if placed in direct sunlight. These plants work best when they are placed in weak places with only occasional sunlight – the ideal places for these are halls, desks and in semi-dark rooms.

Check soil moisture

Indoor plants are usually grown in pots. As such, the amount of soil surrounding its roots is extremely limited compared to the soil around plants grown outdoors. Some plants have a very moist soil-water ratio, but many plants can succumb to root rot if their roots are constantly exposed to very humid conditions. Or, of course, too dry dirt can also kill a plant, so make sure to examine every indoor plant you have to see which conditions are ideal for each. Keep the soil moisture optimal by regularly checking it – all overly moist plants should be watered less or placed in pots with adequate drainage.

Control indoor temperatures

Indoor plants, like all other plants, grow best at certain temperatures. Fortunately, it is much easier to regulate the ambient temperature of your indoor garden than for an outdoor one. Again, not all plants grow best at the same temperatures, so be sure to examine your specific varieties and set the heater or air conditioner accordingly.

Overall, even though keeping plants in your home certainly requires some work on your part, it is still a decorative choice that you will probably be grateful for in the end. Unlike outdoor gardening, indoor gardening should not face the same struggle against small animals and other pests, perhaps making indoor gardening even easier than outdoor plant cultivation in some respects.
