Indoor plants are popular among homeowners because their care is relatively easy. However, for exotic or tropical plants, you may need to take special care. To get the best out of your indoor exotic or tropical plants, here are three care tips. 1. Fertilizer requirements Houseplants, unlike those outdoors, don’t benefit from a regular nutrient replenishment unless they are regularly fertilized. The indoor environment denies them some natural nutrients and they may need some fertilizer. 2. Soil type Although most indoor plants are not picky, some exotic plants such as orchids and bromeliads may require special soil. Therefore, do some research for the specific indoor plants you are keeping, especially before repotting them. 3. Plant repotting Plants tend to outgrow their pots, necessitating repotting. The process of repotting is best done over the spring. When repotting, take care to avoid damaging the root system. Before uprooting, carefully firm the soil around the plant’s root ball without excessively compacting the soil. Remember to leave ample room at the top of the new pot container for watering.
