So basically, all plants need tree things: Water, Nutrients and light. But I know – remembering to water the plants can be a challenge – thats why I can not recommend enough a self watering system or self watering pots.

Then your green babies need nutrition. Most pros recommend giving the plants some extra fertilizing once a month. Start by purchasing an organic, water-soluble plant food – I appreciate this product: This fertilizer is concentrated and eco-friendly:

GROW is a fertilizer made from liquid seaweed concentration. It contains 65+ trace minerals and hormones to boost your houseplants’ general health and growth!

If you have your plants in a place where there is very little daylight you definitely should sprinkle them with some artificial plant light. Let me be honest with you – I think most of them are ugly, but I found this one that looks kind of OK

So there you have it – There is no longer any excuse NOT making your life greener 😉
