                                Indoor Plants: Maintenance

Choosing the right indoor plants for your home is very necessary. Deciding on where you want to place your indoor plant is an important aspect. It can be your bedroom where the atmosphere is moist or a corner where there is not much sunlight, or it can be by the window where there is sufficient sunlight or with both. Deciding on that, you should select what plans do best for your preferred area. Most indoor plants come in plastic pots. Repotting the plants is vital if you want your plant to grow. Plants expand so it needs to be placed in larger pots so they can live their best life. Repotting requires a larger pot than the current pot and more soil, you should water the plants a few days before you repot them.
