Similarly, it’s important provide a good drainage system for indoor plants, such as a layer of pebbles at the bottom of the pot and you can place the pot on a small saucer after watering to ensure it drains properly.

For instance, some indoor plants require full sunlight while others require the shade, so investigate what’s needed to determine the best spot in your home for each plant.

You can usually tell if a plant isn’t getting enough sunlight by its foliage, as paler foliage usually suggests the plant needs more time in the sun.
