Plant Care FAQs

How often should I water?

Check the top inch of soil; water when it feels dry. Pots with drainage holes help prevent soggy roots.

What light do houseplants need?

Most houseplants thrive in bright, indirect light. Check each plant’s care notes for its preferred spot.

When should I repot a plant?

Repot when roots circle the pot or emerge from drainage holes, choosing a container just one size larger.

When should I sow seeds?

Start seeds indoors or outdoors according to the packet’s timing and your local frost dates.

How often should I fertilize?

Use a balanced fertilizer during active growth, following the label directions. Many plants need less feeding in winter.
