  • 1- Watering: The amount of water a plant needs will vary depending on the type of plant, the size of the plant, and the climate. In general, it is best to water plants when the soil is dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
  • 2- Sunlight: Most plants need some sunlight to thrive. However, the amount of sunlight a plant needs will vary depending on the type of plant. Some plants, such as succulents, prefer full sun, while others, such as ferns, prefer partial shade.
  • 3- Soil: Plants need a well-draining soil that is rich in nutrients. You can purchase potting soil from a garden center, or you can make your own by mixing together equal parts potting soil, sand, and peat moss.
  • 4- Fertilizer: Plants need fertilizer to grow and thrive. You can fertilize your plants with a liquid fertilizer or a slow-release fertilizer. Follow the directions on the fertilizer label to avoid over-fertilizing your plants.
  • 5-Pests and diseases: Plants can be susceptible to pests and diseases. If you notice any problems with your plants, such as leaves that are turning yellow or brown, or spots on the leaves, it is important to identify the problem and take steps to treat it. You can purchase pest and disease control products from  garden Hub.
