Five Reasons Your Houseplants Die and How to Save Them

The indoor plants are so intertwined in our world that it is already impossible to imagine an apartment or office without them. They ensure comfort and rejuvenation on the inside, delighting our healthy appearance and earning frustration. They can’t talk, so they don’t tell what they don’t like, but you can guess about the plant’s appearance, the condition of its leaves, bloom, or its absence.

  1. Most of our houseplants originate from humid or subtropical weather. In our apartments and houses, the air is fairly desiccated, particularly during the winter season, when heating arrangements are turned on. Excess moisture can be detected by dark spots on leaves and flowering shoots. Sometimes you may notice a fluffy grey coating in the places where leaf petioles are attached to the stock – this is grey rot. Moist flowers with thin leaves are particularly affected by a lack of moisture. This is understandable, as the plant supplies a good amount of dampness in a leaf plate, and the concentration is the additional strong presence.
    Some symptoms can be considered inadequate humidity:
    – The leaves turn yellow, then waterless;
    – Flowers and buds fall;
    – Leaves slender and turns yellow;
    – The spider mite is seen on some plants;

It is necessary to try to increase any humidity in any way. If there is a humidifier that is outstanding, but if not,then it is essential to spray the plants every day with soft, stable water.
