House Plants can bring an
incredible amount of joy into one's life, the reasons for having an indoor
garden can be many-fold, but, for the most - it's just nice to have something
vibrant and alive, inside. There are of course health benefits to house-plants.
For instance, plants remove carbon dioxide from the air and also, remove many
poisonous toxins and pollutants as well. House-plants are not only decorative,
but good for your health, too. Be mindful, however, you cannot just plonk any
old plant into a pot and expect it to survive indoors. That is why we have
'house-plants' and 'indoor plants'! If you really like the look of, say, a pine
tree, eucalyptus, or for that matter a Sequoia - terrific! Do not think for a
moment that it's going to become a house-plant. Trees, as such, need a lot of
room, sunlight, water and nutriment - plant them outside, in your yard. Unless,
of course, you are looking at ultimately - removing the roof and walls, digging
up the floor; and living for another couple of hundred years. Well then, go for
it. Personally, I think that's what forests are for.
Indoor-plants are generally
smallish, soft and shiny - and need care. This does not mean that you have to
be constantly hovering over them, fiddling and fussing, as this will often kill
them. Too much kindness. Some considerations before you buy.
When choosing indoor plants Dubai, make sure the plants are adaptable and
relatively hardy. I would advise that they are purchased from a reputable
dealer of 'house-plants', rather that straight from the supermarket.
Supermarket plants are already on the back-foot, generally neglected, having
flouro-light rather than sunlight - more like as not they will cark it two days
after you get them home. Still, if budget is a prime concern; and you have lots
of time, these air plants terrarium can
be revived and made to feel welcome.
In order to survive, your house plants online need two kinds of
nourishment. We discussed one of these, water, in Part II of this series. They
also need minerals. For outdoor plantsin Dubai, it can usually get enough minerals from its surroundings all by
itself. But houseplants need more attention - the nutrients available to them
indoors must be provided by the gardener.
