Let's solve the riddle: why do plants on the windowsill dry out?
Find out the causes and solutions to window plant growth problems.
Too much or too little light
One of the most common reasons for problems with the growth of greenery on a window is a lack or excess of light, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Plants may not receive enough light due to poor window placement or obstructions such as curtains or shading from other buildings.
On the other hand, too much direct sunlight can cause burns on the leaves and lead to their drying out.
Problems with watering and humidity
Incorrect watering and lack of humidity are another common cause of problems with plant growth on the windowsill.
Overwatering will cause root rot and plant decay, while underwatering can cause plants to become dehydrated and dry out.
It is important to learn how to maintain the correct balance of watering and humidity depending on the needs of specific plants.
Choosing the Right Plants for Window Conditions
Not all plants are suitable for growing on windowsills. Some require more light, moisture and a special microclimate.
When choosing plants for window conditions, consider the lighting, temperature and humidity in the room.
For example, for windows with little sunlight, you can choose shade plants such as ferns or sansevieria, which can better tolerate low light.
Now you understand how to solve this window problem and learned about the reasons why plants on the window grow and dry out.
Be mindful of lighting, watering, and choosing the right plants for your window conditions.
By following these tips, you can create a green oasis on your window and enjoy healthy and beautiful plants.
