Care essentials
Three habits for healthy growth
You do not need a rigid calendar. Check the conditions, notice changes and follow the plant’s signals.
02
Light · every day
Find gentle light
Most houseplants thrive in plenty of bright, indirect light.
- Notice the shadow cast by a leaf
- Rotate the pot once a week
- Move the plant away from hot glass
03
Repot · when needed
Repot with care
A new pot is useful when the roots have truly run out of room.
- Choose a pot 2–4 cm wider
- Keep the healthy root ball intact
- Let the plant rest afterwards
A ten-minute ritual
The Sunday greenhouse round
01
Feel the soil and note which plants need water.
02
Inspect both sides of the leaves and growing points.
03
Remove dry leaves and gently wipe away dust.
04
Turn the pots so the other side faces the light.
Seasonal note
Moisture disappears faster in summer
Check the soil more often, but do not water automatically. Shield leaves from midday sun and air the room without a cold draft.
