HOUSEPLANTS : 5 MOST COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT HOUSEPLANTS.

-
I have met a lot of people who don't want a plant in there homes because they don't 

 find themselves in a place as responsible as taking care of a super delicate thing like a 

 houseplant! BUT WAIT! Is this even true?, are houseplants delicate? and do they really 

 need special attention? Well, come on lets

 take a look at these 5 most common misconceptions about HOUSEPLANTS.  


  1. PLANTS GROW BIGGER IN BIGGER POTS - One
     of  the most common misconception about houseplants is that they need a bigger space to

  grow in as they grow bigger, but the truth is quite different. The fast growing plants are 

  those that get moderate pot bounds. It is because in this way their roots get to fill the pot.

   Repoting the plant frequently leads them to put in more energy in growing new roots and 

   filling the whole pot. Plants growing in big pots are more likely to suffer from roots rot.    

      2. INDOOR PLANTS NEED A LOT OF DIRECT                     
       SUNLIGHT - Depends on the plant. Only a few plants benefit from direct

 sunlight, while the rest are shade-lovers. If these plants get excessive sunlight they might 

get a sunburn, i.e , the leaves might get yellow in color.



      3. MOST PLANTS NEED HIGH HUMIDITY TO

 SURVIVE- Most common houseplant are selected for retail trades because of there 

ability to live in dry home conditions. although many indoor plants come from naturally

 humid habitats, however many of them can survive in low humidity till they keep getting 

 enough moisture through their roots.

       4. AILING PLANTS WILL BENEFITS FROM PLANT

 FOOD- Fertilizers are not plants food. They are good for vigorously going plants 
which need more nutrition. One can't force a plant to take in extra nutrition as it can cause 

discoloration and burn tender roots.  Ailing plants take in less nutrition in comparison to 

healthy growing plants.

      5. MOST INDOOR PLANTS GO DORMANT IN 

WINTER- Most indoor plants come from tropical region where the climate is warm

 through out the year unlike temperate regions. So, they can grow actively through the year. 

 In northern regions where climate is cold, plants growth rate reduces which people mistake 

that they are dormant.
