frequently asked Questions
Most indoor plants are very resistant to pests such as aphids or flies. Nevertheless, it is crucial for the successful control of the insects how early the infestation is detected. It is therefore advisable to check the plants regularly.
The use of manure and brews has also proven itself in practice for indoor plants. On the one hand, these contain a large number of nutrients that act as natural fertilizers. On the other hand, the bitter substances keep insects away that could potentially pose a threat to the plants. In addition, whole milk is also a widespread tonic for weakening plants.
Excessive watering, in particular, causes many houseplants to rot and then die. The respective planter should therefore be equipped with drainage holes so that excess water can drain away unhindered. In addition, saucers or planters should also be emptied regularly.
