1. Find the right light
Start by looking at where you want to place the tree.
Knowing the amount of light at each location in your home will help you identify the right tree for that location.
Strong lighting usually appears in front of south windows, large windows to the east or west unobstructed.
Small windows in the east or west do not obstruct the average light. The north window and frosted glass windows provide only low light.
Your plants will only get low light if they are more than 2 meters away from any window direction.
2. Buy the right kind of plants
Ask the seller if the tree you want to buy is suitable for the amount of light at the place where you want to place the tree in the house.
The general rule is that the flowers need strong light, while the leaves play only light.
When you find a tree you like, choose a balanced tree shape, evenly. If you decide to grow flowers, look for buds, with only a few flowers beginning to blossom.
Finally, check each branch carefully to make sure it does not have pests. Gently pull up the leaves to make sure they do not fall off easily - a sign of an unhealthy tree.
3. Water properly
Home growers are obsessed about the need to water plants. But it's not good to water plants too much.
To see if the tree you need to water or not, push your finger about 2.5 cm. If you feel wet, push your hands easily, then check again.
If the soil is dry, water it.
Plants in pots usually dry faster than in plastic pots. In addition, plants in high light need more water than those in low light.
In addition, plants use more water in the hot, hot days of the summer - as they grow more aggressively in the shorter and cooler days of winter.
When you irrigate indoors, irrigate a little water from the drainage hole of the pot and flow into the dish below. The flow of water through the soil is very beneficial as it pushes the used air out and allows the new air to move into space between the soil particles.
Air is as important to plants as water.
If the water goes straight to the drainage hole too quickly, the soil may be too dry and shrinking, creating a lot of room for water to flow through.
To water the plants, it is necessary to remove the pot from the room, slowly watering the outside of the pot until the water overflows over the top of the pot. Soil slowly absorbs water.
After the wet soil, let the tree drain out of the water and then bring the planted pot back to the dish in the house.
4. Provide reasonable fertilizer
The urge to plant too much fertilizer is as powerful as watering. But giving the plant more nutrients will make the plant weak and susceptible to disease.
Like water, more light crops need more fertilizer than trees in shade.
And unless a tree is actively growing in winter, it should not be fertilized much this season.
Fertilizer balances should have the same ratio of the three main nutrients: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). Frequently using a small amount of fertilizer will be better for the plants eating nutrients massively for a while.
5. Planting annual crops
In fact, all plants in the house need to be re-planted because they are too big for the pot itself or because they need a fresh soil mix. You should re-plant at least once a year.
Planting should be done in the spring or summer, when the weather is favorable.
When removing the tree from the pot, shake it so that the old soil falls off the roots. If the rootstock is too tight and can not be lifted, use a large knife to squeeze the pelvic area and bottom of the pot.
After picking up the tree, add new soil to the bottom of the pot. Place the tree back and add new soil around the pot.
Each tree is suitable for different soil types. For example, with chrysanthemum plants often need to add coal slag or sand to the soil to facilitate drainage, orchids need only a liquid soil, mainly bark.
6. Control other insects and pets
In spite of good care, sometimes the plants in the house are still attacked by pests or pets.
Bugs: White, green, black, brown or orange bugs are often found in flower buds, shoots, and tops. Sprayers (shower or water hose) can be used to repel bugs, bugs. You can also use cotton pads to wipe off diseased leaves.
White fly: If you spot white stains as you swipe your hands on the leaves, it shows that the white flies have nested. To destroy them, take the soap diluted and spray on the leaves, especially the bottom of the leaves.
Spray on some leaves to make sure the plant is not allergic to soap
Cats: These animals often dig up soil in pots, even using pots as a toilet.
If your cat has this habit, shred some leaves and scatter around the root - fresh leaves have a scent that keeps the cat away.
