A dash of green in your living room!

Indoor gardening is just as fun as having an outdoor garden. In fact, indoor plants not only help clean the environment around them, but they act as a quick decorating tool.
Our Executive Housekeeper, Mr. Abhishek Upadhayay, shares some valuable tips on indoor plants and their maintenance.

Indoor Plants

—  Temperature: Indoor plants generally prefer a controlled temperature range. The ideal range is usually 65 to 75 degree Fahrenheit (18-24°C)  in the daytime.

—  Do not place indoor plants under the AC Grill directly.

—  In general, indoor plants need less sunlight than outdoor plants.

Maintenance of indoor plants

—  In addition to periodic watering of indoor plants, plant leaves as well as the entire plant to be cleaned daily with a dry cloth to remove any residual dust followed by a clean moist cloth.

—  Use balanced soil with a slightly acid pH level.

—  Indoor plants needs less fertilizers as compare to outdoor plants. Over fertilizing can kill the plants

Cleanling Of Indoor Plants

—  Sponge the leaves of larger foliage plants. This removes dust from the surface of the leaf and improves the appearance enormously. Misting with an atomiser over the plants with water from time to time will also clean the surface and allow them to use carbon dioxide drawn in through the pores of the leaf. This is essential for healthy plant growth.
