Keeping plants around the house<\/a> isn\u2019t as scary as you might think; you just need to know what they like in order to keep your indoor garden<\/a> both happy and green.\u00a0 To get you started, we\u2019ve created a resourceful chart on how to care for indoor house plants<\/a> below.<\/p>\n\"how\n

Now that you\u2019ve seen the chart, keep it handy when you\u2019re questioning which types of indoor plants need what. Next up, we’ll dive a little deeper into the houseplant horticulture by doling out all the tips, tricks, and needs of each species.<\/p>\n

Golden Pothos<\/h3>\n

These plants are super easy to care for<\/a> and are kept lively when watered regularly.\u00a0 You can allow up to two inches of topsoil to dry out as long as their roots are kept moist. If you notice their leaves turning yellow or brown, that\u2019s your cue that more water is needed and to adjust your watering schedule as needed.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a sweet bonus to these: By adding a few of their clippings to water can also easily propagate their leggy vines into new plants for your home!<\/p>\n

Air Plant<\/h3>\n

These plants<\/a> are happy lying in a bowl without soil, or in a terrarium–they simply need a light misting every three days and a soak in a bowl of water for about 30 minutes to an hour once a week.<\/p>\n

Succulent<\/h3>\n

Succulents<\/a> are pleased to be placed in partial sunlight. They could use a light misting every three to four days and a drink once a week.<\/p>\n

Aloe Vera<\/h3>\n

Aloe Vera enjoys lots of sunlight and does not require much water. Water this indoor house plant every two to three weeks, using water sparingly. Aloe Vera plants<\/a> do not like to sit in water so place them in a very sunny place after you\u2019ve given them a drink.<\/p>\n

Snake Plant<\/h3>\n

These easy-care plants<\/a> do not need a lot of sun or water: You can go up to two weeks in between each watering. They will, however, get a little dusty, so we recommend wiping off the leaves from time to time for photosynthesis purposes.<\/p>\n

Fern<\/h3>\n

This plant likes partial sunlight and a light misting every now and again, preferring higher temperatures and moist soil. After watering, place the pot on a tray to drain and allow the plant to sit up to an hour. Dry ferns<\/a> tend to drink from the bottom up if they need it.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, this crash course has helped cure your fear of killing house plants for good. Now go and get your green thumb on!<\/p>\n
