Tips On Maintenance for Indoor Plants

In order to keep your indoor plants healthy and thriving you need to
pruned or re-potted. The method is almost identical to the plants and equally as important. Dead
or sick chutes or branches will cause harm to the entire plant so you should cut them off.
There is also the look pruning gives your plant, it makes your plants look shaped niceley. This is especially true when caring for orchids.

If you have a chute that is infected on your orchid and you are pruning it off, it is very
important to disinfect your pruning shears after using them. If you do not, and continue
to prune your healthy orchid plant there is a chance that the fungus will spread through out the plant and maybe even on to other plants also. When pruning orchids especially.
A solution of bleach and water will kill the unwanted organisms nicely.

When you look at the plant if it appears too full you can thin it out, this is important
around the base trunk or stem. You want good air circulation around the plant and if the
branches and leaves are too congested this will not happen. Cut enough of the extra
foliage off and let the plant dry out and get some fresh air. When you are trimming branches to keep a
uniform appearance to your plant just trim what is necessary. Trim the new chute to
when looking at the rest of the plant it should really look inline.

It’s roots grow with the plant. If your plant isn’t doing so well or you observe that the
roots are visible around the outside of the pot, your plant is most likely root bound. it
vital to transplant or repot your plant into a bigger pot or planter. If you have chosen an orchid and have
prepared it for the orchid genly losseen the roots that you can you see. Then
the orchid should be placed in the center of the planter and then surround it with potting soil. This is true with any potted plants.
