Green Friends: This is how you keep your houseplants healthy and happy

Groene Vrienden: Zo Houd Je Kamerplanten Gezond en Gelukkig

Houseplants are not only beautiful to look at, they also bring peace and fresh air into your home. But how do you ensure that your green friends stay healthy and that you enjoy them for a long time? Here are some simple tips to keep your houseplants in top condition:

  1. Give Love in the Form of Water

    Each plant has its own thirst pattern. Feel the soil: is it dry? Time to water! Please note: too much water is just as bad as too little. A good rule of thumb is to only water when the top layer of soil feels dry.

  2. Light: Not Too Much, Not Too Little

    Plants need light to grow, but not every plant likes direct sunlight. Find out whether your plant likes bright light or shade and give it the right place in the house.

  3. Nutrition: A Bonus for Growth Power

    Just like people, plants need a little extra nutrition every now and then. During the growing season (spring and summer), use a good plant food according to the instructions on the package.

  4. Cleaning: Sweeping leaves is important

    Dusty leaves can hinder the growth of your plants. Therefore, wipe the leaves regularly with a damp cloth. This ensures shiny leaves and better absorption of light.

  5. Repotting: Give your Plant Room to Grow

    As your plants grow, they will need more space. Repot your plants once a year in a slightly larger pot with fresh potting soil. This gives the roots room to grow and ensures a healthy plant.

  6. Beware of Pests

    Keep a close eye on your plants and regularly check for pests such as aphids and spider mites. In the case of a small infestation, you can often remove the bugs with a soft cloth and some water. Environmentally friendly pesticides are available for persistent problems.

  7. Give Them Rest Back and Forth

    Plants also need rest. Place them in a cool place in winter and water them less. This helps them to grow again in the spring.
