The ultimate guide to preparing your houseplants for autumn

As the summer fades away and autumn takes its place, it’s time to start preparing your houseplants for the change in the climate. Here’s how to keep your houseplants happy as the days get cooler and shorter.

The first thing you want to do is bring your plants inside if you’ve been letting them vacation outside. Make sure to do so before the temperatures fall below 55F, and check them thoroughly to be sure that they are not bringing any hitchhikers along with them.

Next, repot your houseplants, if necessary. Spring is the best time to repot houseplants because that’s when they strive to grow, but if any of your babies have had an active summer and are too small for their pot, now is a good time as well.

After you do this, give them a shower. Autumn is the perfect time to “leach out any salt build-up by letting the water run freely out of the bottom of the pot.’ Once you’ve done that, spray some water onto the plant’s leaves to clean off any dust that might have collected on the foliage.

The fourth thing you should do is tuck them in with a snack. Houseplants won’t need any fertilizer during fall and winter, but they might appreciate one last snack—such as a liquid, all-purpose fertilizer at half the strength recommended.

You should also consider the light when preparing for the cooler months. On the equinox, the sun rose and set at exactly due east and due west … but as the season crawls along, our favorite giant star shifts across the sky and enters our homes in different ways. Note how light streams in and place plants accordingly. This is a good thing to check every few months.

The last two tips are ones you should keep in mind throughout the year: be mindful of extreme temperatures, and be careful with watering. Hot and cold extremes can stress plants out, so keep them in a relatively stable spot. As for the water in the colder months, less is needed as there is less light, meaning the plants won’t grow as much as in the spring.

Houseplants are the most beautiful indoor air pollution solution

When we think of air pollution, we think about large cities, smog, and smoke, but indoor air pollution can also accumulate. Lack of ventilation, toxic products, and humidity can make the air in your home polluted and stale. To keep our homes and lungs clear and clean, adding some natural air filters are a great idea. Fortunately, there are many varieties of houseplants which will add a lovely splash of nature to your home, benefit your lungs, and clear the air. We have featured many articles on the multiple benefits of indoor greenery before, so this is a follow-up with a long list of easy to grow, mood-enhancing plant life.

Bamboo palms are perfect, even if your home doesn’t receive a lot of natural light, and spider plants are hearty cleaners which will last even if you don’t have a green thumb. The golden pothos is a fast-growing plant, needs little water, absorbs CO2 and formaldehyde, and brings fresh air inside. If you crave a splash of color, Chrysanthemum and Azalea plants detoxify and produce beautiful blooms.

Breath some new life into struggling houseplants

Are your old house plants dying? Here’s how to bring them back to life

Do you have any plants in your house that have always thrived, but are now struggling to stay alive? If so, it may be time to give them a new home. When you think of plants covering the lush forest floor, it’s easy to imagine their roots slinking through the soil, shooting forth in their heroic hunt for water and nutrients. When we take those plants inside and put them in pots, often times their roots don’t exactly know how to obey the new confines. They keep growing and growing, winding around themselves in a tangle until the plant becomes root-bound. At that point, growth is inhibited and the plant begins to suffer. The solution is to put your old plant into a new pot with fresh soil. To do this successfully, the first thing you need to do is water the plant well the day before; this will lessen the stress to the plant and make the roots more pliable. Then, remove the plant from the pot. If it doesn’t budge, you may need to break the pot (in the worst case scenario). Once you’ve liberated the plant, you need to loosen up the compacted roots. Gently pull and detangle the roots using your fingers and redirect them from their pot-shaped tangle. Afterward, add some potting soil to the bottom of a larger pot, place the plant on top of it, and add some more soil on top of that. Make sure to tap the pot along the way to remove air pockets from the soil. Lastly, water the plant and let it recuperate out of direct sun for a few days. Once you’ve done all this, your plant should start thriving again in no time. READ MORE

these 4 houseplants can help clean the air The air in your home is dirtier than you think. Clean it up with these 4 plants

While it’s tempting to think that the air inside your house or office is clean, the truth is quite the opposite: according to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the air inside the average home is up to five times more polluted than the air outside. That’s an alarming fact, especially considering that us city dwellers spend up to 90 percent of our time indoors. The good thing is house plants are pretty nifty air purifiers that can fight the nasty toxins in your home. For a clean home with clean air, try adding this small list of houseplants to your decor. The first houseplant has a hilarious name: Mother-in-Laws’ Tongue. This house plant has long, tongue-like leaves with sharp pointed tips, and is known to remove at least 107 different air pollutants, including carbon monoxide and chloroform. Best of all, this plant is extremely resilient and can go weeks without water. The Money Plant is another special plant that will both live up your home and clean the air. Thee plant earns its common name from its traditional use as a wealth booster in the Chinese system of feng shui. Whether it will bring you wealth is something you’ll have to find out for yourself, but this plant will do a superb job of removing volatile compounds related to synthetic paint or carpets. The Peace Lily is the next plant on our list. With a deep forest green color and little white flowers, this plant effectively removes all common indoor pollutants generated by furniture electronics and cleaning products. Lastly, we have the Bamboo Palm. Place this beautiful little plant in your home, and it will naturally humidify your home and help you breathe. READ MORE
