When to water
Water when the top layer of soil feels dry. Frequency depends on plant type, pot size and room temperature.
Plant Care Guide
Practical tips for keeping indoor plants healthy in Australian homes and offices.
Light & Where to Place
Most indoor plants need bright, indirect light. In Australia, north- and east-facing windows often work well; south can be dim and west can be strong in summer.
-
Bright indirect
Place near a window but out of direct midday sun. Suits many foliage plants.
-
Low light
Some plants tolerate corners and rooms with less natural light. Rotate them occasionally for even growth.
Watering
Overwatering is a common issue. Check the top few centimetres of soil before watering; if it is still damp, wait.
How to water
Water until it runs from the drainage holes, then empty the saucer. Avoid leaving roots sitting in water.
Humidity & Airflow
Australian indoor air can be dry, especially with heating or cooling. Grouping plants or using a tray of water nearby can help.
-
Bathrooms & kitchens
These rooms often have higher humidity and suit moisture-loving plants.
-
Airflow
Good air circulation helps reduce pest and mould issues. Avoid cramming plants in closed corners.
Through the Seasons
Plants grow more in warmer months and slow down in winter. Adjust watering and feeding with the seasons.
Spring and summer
Growth is active. Water and feed a bit more; watch for pests in warm weather.
Autumn and winter
Growth slows. Reduce watering and feeding; avoid cold draughts near windows.
