How to Care for Low Maintenance Plants

Watering Tips

Check soil moisture before watering - most low care plants prefer to dry out between waterings. Overwatering is more harmful than underwatering for these varieties. Water deeply but less frequently, allowing excess water to drain completely. During winter months, reduce watering frequency as plants' growth slows down.

Ideal Light Conditions

Most indoor plants with low maintenance needs adapt to various light conditions. Snake plants and ZZ plants tolerate low light, while aloe vera and cacti prefer bright, indirect sunlight. For balcony plants, morning sun with afternoon shade works well for most varieties.

Best Soil & Potting Mix Recommendations

Use well-draining potting mix to prevent root rot. A combination of garden soil, compost, and perlite or sand works well for most low maintenance plants. Ensure pots have drainage holes to prevent water logging.

Cleaning and Pruning Basics

Dust leaves regularly with a damp cloth to help plants breathe better. Remove dead or yellowing leaves promptly to prevent pest issues. For trailing plants like pothos, trim long vines to maintain shape and encourage fuller growth.
