Do depolluting plants require any special maintenance?
Air-purifying houseplants require no special care. However, proper maintenance is crucial to their effectiveness in cleaning the environment.
You don't need a green thumb to get the best out of them. So, how do you take care of them so that they stay not only pretty, but also functional? Here's some detailed information on maintaining your air purifying plants:
Watering: keep the balance! Appropriate, moderate watering is the key to avoiding rotten roots.
Spraying: A little mist can work wonders. Regularly spraying the foliage with distilled or filtered water recreates the humidity these verdant beauties crave. This little wellness gesture also helps keep pests at bay, while providing your plants with top-level hydration for better air filtration.
Pruning: Give them a little trim from time to time. Remove withered or damaged leaves to encourage vigorous growth and limit the risk of disease. Think of it as a quick makeover.
Leaf cleaning: how about a little home spa? Dusting leaves with a damp cloth not only makes them shine, but also maximizes their ability to filter air.
Fertilization: Feed them, but do it right! An organic nutrient supply during the growing season contributes to their well-being without exposing your home to chemicals.
Light: The right light makes all the difference. Placing your plant in a bright space without exposing it to direct sunlight is a bit like giving it chic, effective sunglasses.
Pest control: Play plant detective. A regular look under the leaves and around the pot can prevent an unwanted invasion. At the slightest sign of trouble, take swift action with eco-friendly maintenance solutions.
