Are your indoor plants refusing to grow, even though all the necessary conditions have been created for them?
Don't be in a hurry to despair, because there is a very simple solution to your problem.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained what specific reasons lead to slow plant growth.
According to the expert, it is worth paying attention to three specific problems.
Lack of light
Most indoor plants need sufficient lighting, because for them light functions as food.
If there is not enough light, the crop will not only stop growing, but will also acquire a yellowish tint.
Abundance of moisture
Try not to overwater your houseplants.
Otherwise, the root system of the “green pets” will very soon begin to rot, and it may also be attacked by a pathogenic fungus.
Lack of moisture
In particular, you should not ignore the need to water plants.
Without sufficient moisture, the crop will die. The exceptions are succulents and cacti, which prefer to grow in dry soil.
