Plant Care Tips from Sassy and Strong

Water less often than you think you need. During the winter months I may only water once every 2 weeks, and in the summer it will be closer to one week for my indoor plants.
You can check the top soil, down a couple inches, if your finger is dry, go ahead and water. (It is kind of like the baking check).
I always prefer bottom watering. If you bought your plant from me, you will have a nursery pot inside the decorative pot to remove.
You must have a pot with drainage holes, but use them for watering rather than drainage. Submerge the bottom of your pot in a pan of prepared water for your plant.
Consider adding an additive hydroguard.
Give your plant a little food, my favorite is the seaweed that I add to the water.

Consider planting your pot into a nursery pot rather than into a clay or decorative pot. The benefits are bottom watering, and ability to change your decorative pot easily.
You want the right potting soil. There is straight potting soil, tropical, cactus and succulent potting soil, etc. Give yourself a mix if you are able. I always mix either some tropical or succulent potting soil with my typical potting soil.
Consider rock, mulch, or leca for filler and drainage assistance. You save some soil and you are less likely to get root rot because of the help with drainage in the potting soil.
When you are repotting and need to go bigger, 1”-2” larger in diameter is all I would do. Watering can get difficult when you have too large of pot for a plant.

Plants need light, there is just no way around it. If there is not a good light source, surviving will be hard.
Any window light is great. If your plant can see the sky, you are good to go.
Don’t forget about grow lights. They are magical and will allow you to have plants in those corners that you want for decorative purposes. Your plants will love them.
Change it up every once in a while. I will rotate my plants around to get the morning sun vs. the afternoon sun, etc. Sometimes my plant will tell me where she likes best.
Turn your plant when you water so all sides gets to face the light in rotation.
