Is a sunny window good place?

Different plants are uited to different temepatures and hydration levels.  Violets dislike being sunburnt while cacti hate there feet getting being saturated. Ferns like it cool to temperate, moist and dim.

A s you see supplying as close to the ideal conditions is important.



Plants that need moisture while you are away may benefit from having a large plastc bag enclosing them.  The plastic bag idealy does not touch the plant as this defets the purpose since the plastic sweats. Resulting in the leaves dying and rot setting in.

While away - house plants watering

Watering houseplants presents different problems according to your situation. using this idea saves you unnecessary worry......, especially if your plants are in good condition and free of pests before you start this idea.

• Water and soak the roots of the plant.
• Let any excess water drain away.
• Gather all the plants together out of the suns direct light. In a cool room is best.
• I have used the bath or kitchen sink for this reason.
• Add about 2 cm [1 inch] of water to the base of the bath or kitchen sink. This added moisture helps sustain the plant while your away.. without drowning the poor things root system.
