How To Grow And Care For Your Indoor Tree
Indoor trees can turn any space from cold and drab to warm and inviting. Adding trees to your indoor space is a great way to bring the outdoors in, bring a pop of color to your design, and benefit from the added health advantages of living
indoor trees.
If the thought of caring for your indoor tree seems intimidating, you aren't alone. But, indoor tree care doesn't have to be a daunting task—in fact, it's easier than you think! We've created this helpful guide filled with invaluable indoor tree care
tips to help you make the most of your indoor space.
Planting
The first step to a healthy indoor tree is proper planting. It's important to choose a pot that is appropriately sized for your tree. As your tree grows, it will be necessary to replant in larger pots to accommodate the larger size.
You'll also need to make sure the pot has adequate drainage holes. This will help prevent issues like overwatering the plant. It's also important to choose a high-quality soil to give your indoor tree the best environment to promote proper
drainage and growth. The soil should also be changed at least once a year.
Some of the most popular indoor tree options include:
• Fiddle Leaf Fig
• Yucca
• Parlor Palm
• Corn Plant
• Ficus
• Rubber Tree
• Fishtail Palm
• Money Tree
• And More!
Indoor Tree Care
Of course, the specific care for your indoor plant will greatly rely on the variety of plant you choose for your space. However, there are a few common guidelines that you can use to help with your indoor tree care routine.
Indoor trees and plants will naturally acclimate to their environment. Proper placement is essential to healthy indoor trees. Constantly moving or relocating your plants can actually harm your plants and inhibit growth.
Your indoor tree should be watered regularly. How often your tree should be watered will be determined by your specific plant's needs. Be sure to use room temperature water and avoid any foliage to prevent damage and potential disease.
Your indoor tree should be inspected routinely for the presence of any pests or other signs of problems. This is a great opportunity to use a damp cloth to remove any dust from the foliage of your plant. This will encourage the photosynthesis
process and keeps your plant looking gorgeous!
