Plants that grow in pots or other containers need regular trimming back in order to keep them attractively shaped and at a size that makes them pleasant to look at. Florescent lights make it possible for your plants to thrive in the places that you'll enjoy them the most. Even your basement or attic can become a variable greenhouse filled with beautiful flowers.
Little money is needed to change a dimly lit spot into an attractive display of healthy plants.
It is very important to the health of your plant to realize when the plant needs to rest. Slow down of growth will happen after a heavy flowering. Tropical plants need rest in the winter months. Symptoms include an absence of new growth, a tired appearance, and yellowing leaves that fall off. With a little knowledge and research you can grow beautiful houseplants that will bring you very much enjoyment.
