When placing plants, be sure to consider all sorts of little things. Who needs more light, and who prefers partial shade, which plants need to be watered or sprayed frequently.

Indoor plant and caring for it

Taking care of indoor plants is primarily to water, loosen and spray. There are some moisture-increasing tricks you can do to help you water your flowers less often.

Place the flowerpots in a pallet or container with wet gravel, cover the ground under large plants with gravel or wood chips - this will add decorative effect and retain moisture longer. Be sure to gently loosen the soil, this will provide moisture and air better access to the roots.

The use of a hydrogel, a polymer compound that is capable of absorbing and retaining moisture, greatly helps flowers and growers. The substance is absolutely safe for plants, it can be mixed with soil, this will allow you to water less often without damaging the flowers.

After a few years, the hydrogel decomposes without any toxic waste. By the way, you can use the hydrogel without soil - it will look very impressive in a transparent flower pot as a soil.
