Some indoor plants need a lot of light, while others do just fine in less bright areas. Be sure to read about your plants' individual sunlight requirements and place them accordingly.

Many plants need to dry out before you add more water, while others prefer constant moisture. If you have multiple plants, their water requirements might be very different from each other.

Almost all houseplants require occasional fertilizing. They're contained since they're inside, so they can’t stretch their roots out in search of food. Most garden centers carry fertilizer specially made for indoor plants.

Some indoor plants can quickly grow out of control without regular trims. Buy a pair of garden scissors and keep them handy. With some plants, you can put the trimmings in water to create a new plant!

Believe it or not, plant leaves get dusty. Not only does this look unattractive, but it’s also not healthy for the plant. So keep a soft, microfiber cloth handy and tidy up your plants every couple of weeks.

You may need to transplant your indoor plants into bigger pots each year depending on the plant. If a houseplant gets root-bound, it may fail to thrive or even die, so get in the habit of repotting indoor plants.
