The top 3 mistakes that could kill your indoor plants!

Are your indoor plants doing as well as you'd like?  The reason could be listed below.  According to our plant experts, there are 3 mistakes that will result in your plant doing poorly or even dying.

1)  Too much water.

The temptation may be strong but don't give in! Overwatering is the most common cause of indoor plants dying.

Most plants prefer their soil to dry out to a depth of 2 inches between waterings.  Of course, this is general and some plants need more or less water.  If in doubt, ask a sales person where you purchased the plant.

2)  Not enough light.

Make sure the plant is getting enough light. Plants that are blooming or have colored foliage generally need more light.

3)  Too big a container.

Indoor plants actually like to be somewhat cramped in their pots.  When it's too big, there's so much soil that it holds the water like a sponge and the plant rots. This is different from plants growing in the ground outside where the water can evaporate or seep into the surrounding area.  If you do need to re-pot, choose a container that's only one size up from your present container.

What's so special about this plant?

Here's a plant that can actually help make your environment healthier!  The Sansevieria, also known as a Snake Plant or Mother-in-Law's Tongue, releases oxygen into the air during the night making it a good plant  for your bedroom.  Plus studies have shown that it removes many toxins from the air such as carbon monoxide and formaldehyde.

Don't worry if your green thumb sometimes seems a little brown because Sansevieria can tolerate poor watering habits and can thrive in low light.
