Houseplants do more than just brighten a room — they make a house feel like home. In honor of National Houseplant Appreciation Day, here are a few simple care tips to keep your plants thriving and your home feeling fresh all year long.
🌱 1. Light Matters More Than You Think
Not all plants love direct sunlight.
- Bright light plants: near windows
- Low-light plants: snake plants, pothos, ZZ plants
Know what your plant prefers and place it accordingly.
💧 2. Don’t Overwater
One of the biggest mistakes is watering too often.
Most houseplants prefer:
- Soil that dries slightly between waterings
- Good drainage to prevent root rot
When in doubt — wait one more day.
🌡️ 3. Keep Them Comfortable
Houseplants like consistency.
- Avoid cold drafts
- Keep them away from heating vents
- Normal indoor temperatures are perfect
🌿 4. Clean Leaves = Healthier Plants
Dust blocks sunlight.
Gently wipe leaves with a damp cloth to help plants breathe and grow.
🏡 5. Plants Make Homes Feel More Inviting
Healthy houseplants:
- Add warmth and life
