Pick the plants you think are best for you and your lifestyle.

Now that you have a better idea about your plant-care abilities and the amount of time, space, and resources you can commit to caring for a plant, go out and find the perfect one! Consider the following questions:

• Where will this plant be in my home? Does it need sunlight or shade? How much watering is required (and are you willing to give it)?
• What size should I look for? Are there any plants that grow too big for my space? Will I be able to provide enough light if it’s kept in an area without direct sunlight (like a balcony)?
• What kind of shapes, textures, or colors do I like? Do I prefer plants with shiny leaves or more muted ones? Are there plants with interesting leaf shapes like starfish or dinosaur feet that would look good in my living room?

Place each plant in the right type of container.

Containers play a large role in how well your plants thrive. You should pick out a container that’s just the right size for your plant. The container should be about two inches wider than the root ball of the plant, and no more than twice as deep as the root ball. If you buy a plant from a nursery, it doesn’t always come in its own pot, so you might need to transfer it to your own container within a short period of time. Whilst plastic pots are cheaper and lighter than clay or ceramic ones, they’re not ideal for long-term use because they can develop cracks which make it difficult for water to drain from them properly, and if there’s too much water in the soil of a potted plant, then its roots will rot and die. This can be prevented by using containers that have good drainage holes at the bottom like clay or ceramic ones do.

Whilst plastic pots are cheaper and lighter than clay or ceramic ones, they’re not ideal for long-term use because they can develop cracks which make it difficult for water to drain from them properly — if there’s too much water in the soil of a potted plant then its roots will rot and die. This can be prevented by using containers that have good drainage holes at the bottom like clay or ceramic ones do. In addition to picking out an appropriate sized container with good drainage holes in it, you need to fill this container with potting mix as opposed to ordinary dirt from your garden. Potting mix is superior because it has higher levels of nutrients than regular soil does; plus potting mix is more lightweight so when you carry around your plants they won’t weigh as much as if you used regular soil in their pots instead!

Decide where to put your plants, both inside and outside.

First, pick a location where your plants will get the right type of light. Some plants like a lot of sun, while others prefer shade. Be careful not to put your plants where you expect them to receive changing amounts of light: for example, if you put them on a windowsill, make sure the windowsill gets consistent light throughout the day; otherwise, your plant may become lopsided as it tries to grow towards the sun.

Second, put your plants in a location where they will not be disturbed. No matter how much you love your houseplants, at some point or another you will want to move furniture or vacuum and dust around them. Make sure their placement allows this process to happen easily without disturbing the roots of the plant or breaking any delicate branches.

Third and finally, remember that most indoor plants need to be watered on a regular basis (every week or so). Most outdoor plants need watering only if they are newly planted or living in unusually hot conditions; otherwise they can survive just fine on rainwater alone! To make things easier for yourself, consider buying drip irrigation equipment that automatically waters your garden at designated times every day.

Finally, keep your houseplants away from pets and small children who might nibble off bits of leaves—and be careful about what types of toxic plants you keep inside!

Water your plants properly.

Watering your plants properly is essential for them to thrive. However, watering methods and schedules will vary greatly depending on the type of plant you have. This is why it’s a good idea to do some research on how much water specific plants need.

There are several ways to water your plants, but if you’re a busy person, an automated watering system might be the best way for you to go. There are many different types of automatic drip systems available at local gardening centers and online. These systems will ensure that your plants get exactly the right amount of water every time because they can be adjusted based on how much water each individual plant needs.

However if you’re a hands-on type person or don’t want to invest in an automatic watering system, there are still plenty of ways for you to make sure your plants receive enough hydration without drowning them or leaving them thirsty and dry. Checking soil moisture before you water is a simple way to make sure that your plant really needs more moisture before giving it any additional water. If most of the soil around the roots is still moist, wait another day or two and check again before watering again. Also avoid allowing your plant sit in standing water; this can lead to root rot which can kill even the hardiest of houseplants! In general, morning watering is best as it allows leaves time to dry off before night falls and gives the plant more time during daylight hours to use up any excess moisture from its roots so that it doesn’t get moldy or mushy overnight.

Clean and prune your plants regularly.

It’s important to clean and prune your plants regularly so they can stay healthy.

Clean the leaves of your plants with a damp cloth or paper towel once a week. This will remove dust, bugs, and other things which can accumulate on the leaves. You should also wipe down the sides of your plant pot at least once every two months.

If you’re dealing with pests, spot treat them by using a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol and gently rubbing it on their bodies.

Prune your plant by pinching off any dead parts with your fingers or using small pruning shears. If you are removing large portions of the plant (more than ⅓), it may be best to use larger shears to prevent damaging the rest of the plant. Prune your plants when they get too big for their pots. This usually takes about 1-2 years depending on how fast they grow!

These top tips will help you keep your plants alive and thriving

Keeping your plants alive isn’t rocket science, but there are definitely a few things you should know before jumping in. We’ve got the tips you need to get started—easy things you can do to make sure your plants live their best lives.

First, pick your plant! There are so many beautiful types of plants out there, and each one is special in its own way—from leafy green ferns and delicate orchids to colorful cacti and succulents. When shopping for your first plant, choose something that suits both your lifestyle and the space it will be living in.

Once you’ve picked out your new friend, it’s time to put them somewhere comfy! Before placing a plant in any sort of container (whether it’s a clay pot or a fancy planter), make sure it has adequate drainage. You don’t want to get waterlogged roots—that’ll just lead to brown leaves and wilting stems. Plants need nutrients in addition to water, so make sure you’re using fresh soil every time you repot a new friend into its home sweet home!

Lastly, keep an eye on those babies. Watering plants properly is usually the trickiest part of keeping them healthy; overdoing it can kill just as easily as neglecting them completely! Luckily we have some tips straight from our experts about how much water each type of greenery needs based on where they are placed (inside versus outside).
