The cycle of watering on the other hand must change throughout like in summer the plants are thirsty but the ball game of winter is completely different.

Tips:

• Before you pour water see if the soil is dry. Dig at least 2 inches deep to find the soil beneath is moist or not, if it is dry then spill it until the water gushes out of the drainage holes.
• Feed your plants with warm water for better absorption.
• Pour water directly into the soil then sprinkle around stems and leaves.
  
• Place a saucer under the pot to cater the plant needs of water when you are not nearby.

5. Prune to Protect and Not to Harm

Plants are always under constant pressure from the environment, so buy time to show that you really care for them. Dress the growth by removing old growth; trim the dead ends before winter to allow fresh and appealing blooms in spring and summer. To make it a therapeutic experience for a plant use pruning scissors, gloves, and all essential tools.

Do you know the dirt surrounding your leaves, actually blocks the sunlight? So, next time when you see coatings of dirt spritz it with clear water or wipe it with a moist cloth.

6. Let the Plant Choose its Pot
