Christmas is over, and some people have taken down their holiday decorations. It may make the house look bare, but there is no need for that! Houseplants are a great way to keep your home looking lively!
Pike Nurseries stopped by Good Day Atlanta on Friday to fill us in the care of houseplants!
Repotting Houseplants and Outdoor Container Gardens
Benefits of Houseplants
Houseplants are a great way to decorate your home and give it some life
Most houseplants also help clean the air of toxins, making your home healthier
Determining Your Light
The only thing you need to know when you come to Pike Nurseries to select your houseplant is what type of light the plant will receive
There's an easy way to determine your lighting condition:
Take a piece of white paper and hold your hand about 8 inches above the paper
High Light: If you can clearly see the shadow from your hand and it has some definition
Medium Light: There is a blurred shadow
Low Light: No shadow
Houseplant Options:
High Light
Citrus
Kalanchoe
Succulents/Cactus
Asparagus Fern
Medium Light
Orchids
Bamboo
Dracaena (some varieties)
Low Light
Sanseveria
ZZ Plant
Caring for Houseplants
Keep houseplants watered so that the soil is just slightly moist to the touch
Apply a good fertilizer like Bonide Liquid Plant Food
