1 Think of important moments
Indoor plant is, of course, not a cat and a dog, it does not require such involvement and continuous care. But at the same time, so as not to spend money and do not regret the ruined plant, it is worth being prepared by answering a small list of questions.
Check yourself
- It is important to take into account if there is an allergy to pollen from someone from home? In this case, you need to look for hypoallergenic varieties: orchids, femenopsis, Huszyany, Cumbria or Begonia.
- How often are you leaving home more than a couple of days? Is it possible to ask for helping someone from familiar or neighbors? The answer to this question immediately divides for you all the home plants into two camps: those that require frequent regular irrigation, and those that can be watering every two weeks and less often.
- Does the house have children and pets? Their presence means that you most likely do not suit views with spines or poisonous juice.
- What place are you ready to take a pot? Is it a well-lit room or most of the day she is in the shade? What is the average temperature at your home in winter and summer?

3 Choose a healthy plant in the store
After the appearance and varieties were identified, you need to carefully inspect the product offered in a flower shop. Choose a variant with strong, healthy, not falter leaves. Watch the foliage to be uniform, trunk - without damage, dents and spots. We especially carefully inspect the lower part of the leaves: it should not be a web or plaque.
If the land in the pot is pushed or too raw, it speaks of the improper storage of the plant and, most likely, will lead to diseases or death.

4 Plant at home
Specify the seller, in which soil is a sapling. If it is "light" soil, then at home will have to transplant. It is better to buy a ready-made mixture in advance for the selected variety. It is not necessary to experiment without experience, trying to independently make the right proportions of the soil and even more so to prepare the soil taken from the street.
If you bought a flowering plant, put it in the most illuminated place. In other cases, adaptation to the new environment will be held better with a soft scattered light.
Active watering at the initial stage is also not needed. Trace the comfortable temperature (about 20 ° C) and hide from drafts.
