Keep a water check. Indoor plants do not need regular watering. So, do your thorough research and then do the watering. Make sure the soil is moist and not wet. The easiest way to water the plant is to add water if the ground becomes lighter in color or cracked. Plants, especially succulents, need periods of dryness between watering. 68° F or 20° C is the best temperature to keep the water you’re using to water your plants.
Sunlight is one of the most crucial things that plants need to thrive. First of all, avoid putting the plant in direct sunlight. Instead of putting the plants in indirect light, subject them to indirect light by putting them in a well-lit room. If you live in a place where the temperature is low and the weather is cloudy, fluorescent lights can work as an alternative to sunlight for some plants. Keep a simple rule in mind. Give flowering plants 12-16 hours of sunshine per day and give foliage plants 14-16 hours of light per day.
Humidity is crucial for the growth and maintenance of the indoor plant. To keep the plants fresh and alive, increase the moisture in the room. Some plants, such as cacti, may need dry air, but most other plants require humidity, especially tropical plants. To maintain the moisture of the air, you can buy a room humidifier with a cool mist. You can also DIY the humidifier by filling a tray with pebbles. Add water just up below the tops of the rocks. As the water evaporates, it will humidify the room. Also, keep a spray bottle with distilled water, and spray the plants in the morning.
