The right pots for your plants
Plants live best in the right pot. Select a pot that fits your plants. When choosing a pot, make sure to consider its size, material and drainage capability. Use a pot that’s proportional to your plant’s current size. Once the plants outgrows its home, you can transfer it into a larger pot.

Feed with nutrients

Things to remember, specific plants require their own unique fertiliser schedule or specific fertiliser type. 
 
Be water wise 
Learn to recognise when your plants need water. Provide plants with enough water to keep the soil moist rather than wet. Be careful not to over water and make sure your pots have drainage holes. Most plants only need to be watered once or twice a week, or you can mist them three times a day to keep them humid. 
Look for the right light

In general, houseplants require a level of humidity to their natural growing conditions. From there, you can group plants based on their similar needs.
