When choosing a plant and growing.

Not all homes are the same. In some places it is very hot while in others it is cold. There are large homes, other small ones; in bright or low light. It is important to take into account all these factors when choosing the plant you want to have in your home.

Similarly, it is important to ask about plants that can do well indoors and those that are special for outdoors. This will be important when deciding where to place the plant.

For example, flowers are highly recommended to decorate the home for their warm colors and elegant style. The simplest are usually very pretty, like roses, daisies, candle stars, or sunflowers.

How to plant a plant.

If you are going to transplant the plant from one pot to another you must be quite careful.  Since many times the plants are put in a smaller or larger container than you really need.

The soil you must choose has to be a special one for indoor plants. You cannot have it in a garden soil as this is very thick and can prevent the plants from breathing properly.

In the same way, it is important to water the plants thoroughly when it is seen that the soil is completely dry.

When it comes to watering and fertilizing the land.

This activity is vital for plants to grow and maintain vitality. Although it can be a basic action, you need to keep a few things in mind.

For example, it is not advisable to water excess, it is something that should be done regularly and accordingly to what the plant needs. Preferably with a sprayer so that both the leaves and the roots can be watered.

The best time to water a plant is in the morning. Since the weather is cool and the water is not going to evaporate as quickly as when it is very hot.

You should also take care that the water is neither hot nor very cold. You can boil the water and leave it for a day to rest so that it is brought to room temperature, this will remove the chlorine from the water and that when watering the plants they do not take a black color on the edge of the leaves.

To fertilize the land there are two types of fertilizers, organic and natural fertilizers. It is possible to create your own natural compost with some kitchen waste. Like for example the egg shell or using vegetables.

When applying insecticides.

Your plant must be protected from fungi and insects so that it remains in good condition and can grow or be kept healthy.

It is possible to make some homemade insecticides, for example with garlic, 4 cloves should be crushed and allowed to rest in a liter of water for a week.

Then apply the product to the plant with a sprayer. If the plant is already affected, do it especially in those places that show evidence of damage, this will serve to combat mites, fungi and chiches.

It is recommended that the plants be put somewhere where UV rays reach it. This is to nourish them and accelerate their growth. Place the plants very close to a window for the sun to reach it. You must take care that these rays do not reach the plant directly, it is recommended to place it in a place where there is light.
