Houseplants<\/a> have always been an easy way to liven up any space, no matter how big or small. Other than its obvious decorating chops, it\u2019s been proven that a few choice houseplants provide a lush and calm atmosphere every home should have. That being said, keeping a houseplant alive is by no means an easy task \u2014 we\u2019ve been there! To ensure your plant baby flourishes, try our handy tips below.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_image image=”16901″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” caption_pos=”below” remove_rounded=”yes” fullwidth=”no” overflow_mode=”none” link_target=”_self” lightbox=”no” intro_animation=”none” animation_delay=”200″ width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

1. Hedge your bets and pick a hardy plant if you\u2019re a total beginner<\/h2>\n

There are certain plants around that are easier to take care of, so you might consider choosing those for a start if you\u2019re a beginner with less than green thumbs. These low-maintenance plants are pretty hardy and don\u2019t require a lot of time or excessive care. Best of all though, they thrive well in Singapore\u2019s warm and humid climate \u2014 a big win for everyone, we\u2019ll say!<\/p>\n

Some hardy plants we recommend would be the snake plant, the money plant, and the spider plant. These plants are suitable in Singapore\u2019s unforgiving climate<\/a>, and require comparatively little care.<\/p>\n

For example, these plants can survive in a number of different light conditions \u2014 both high and low light conditions will do just fine, and only require sparing watering of once every 7-10 days. They\u2019re happy just being left in the corner, tending to their own needs \u2014 we love an independent plant. Essentially, plant care can\u2019t get any easier than that!<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_image image=”16900″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” caption_pos=”below” remove_rounded=”yes” fullwidth=”no” overflow_mode=”none” link_target=”_self” lightbox=”no” intro_animation=”none” animation_delay=”200″ width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

Large Residential Apartment ($33,000) by Hmlet Interiors<\/a><\/h6>\n[\/spb_image] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

2. Feed your plants with care \u2014 don\u2019t overwater them!<\/h2>\n

If you have to remember any golden rule for plant care, it\u2019ll have to be this \u2014 everything in moderation. Not too little, not too much, but just right. But therein lies the confusion: how would a beginner know if it\u2019s too much, or too little?<\/p>\n

Well, in the case of watering plants, most people actually water way too much, rather than too little! Overwatering will cause your plants to suffer from what plant lovers call \u2018wet feet\u2019, which is something that happens when their roots are completely saturated from sitting in excess water for many days.<\/p>\n

To accurately ascertain how much water your plant needs, simply test its normal weight and use it as an easy gauge. The lighter it is, the more water it needs. For what it\u2019s worth, plant experts note that most plants would prefer being just a tad dry, rather than being overwatered!<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_image image=”16899″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” caption_pos=”below” remove_rounded=”yes” fullwidth=”no” overflow_mode=”none” link_target=”_self” lightbox=”no” intro_animation=”none” animation_delay=”200″ width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

New Build Home Interior Design ($33,000) by Hmlet Interiors<\/a><\/h6>\n[\/spb_image] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

3. Lighten up \u2014 make sure your plant\u2019s got sufficient light<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s no secret that plants need light to grow, and to grow well. However, different plants vary in terms of the optimal amount of light they need to grow. In instances like this, it\u2019ll be great to do some cursory research so you can find the best place for your houseplant in your home.<\/p>\n

To keep your houseplants in tip top shape, it\u2019s a handy thing to know that most houseplants would either require bright or direct light (sunlight from a south-facing window) or indirect or filtered light (sunlight through a curtain<\/a> or light from a bulb). If you\u2019re staying in a home without south-facing windows, do consider placing your houseplant in a brightly-lit room instead where they can still easily soak up the vitamin D!<\/p>\n

One thing though \u2014 your houseplant won\u2019t immediately die if they don\u2019t receive the right amount of light (they\u2019re quite hardy that way!), but they would unfortunately not be able to sprout new growths, flowers, or leaves.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_image image=”16898″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” caption_pos=”below” remove_rounded=”yes” fullwidth=”no” overflow_mode=”none” link_target=”_self” lightbox=”no” intro_animation=”none” animation_delay=”200″ width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

4. Add plant food to boost their health<\/h2>\n

Plant food, more commonly known as fertilisers, would be a welcome addition to any houseplant. Even though water and light is generally acceptable, plant food directly aids in the houseplants\u2019 growing processes and overall plant health!<\/p>\n

That being said, fertilisers can admittedly be a little messy, especially for HDB dwellers! Well, there are some alternatives to the traditional water soluble fertiliser. An example would be the plant granule, which breaks down over time. Best thing about it? It\u2019s very low maintenance, and only requires one granule per plant once every few months!<\/p>\n

A word of advice, though \u2014 fertilisers should only be applied during your plant\u2019s growing season for the best results.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_image image=”16897″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” caption_pos=”below” remove_rounded=”yes” fullwidth=”no” overflow_mode=”none” link_target=”_self” lightbox=”no” intro_animation=”none” animation_delay=”200″ width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

5. Want to start planting your jungle? Here\u2019s how you can start<\/h2>\n

With all the technical details aside, we\u2019ve come to the fun part \u2014 filling your cosy HDB<\/a> with all the houseplants you\u2019ve managed to get your hands on!<\/p>\n

The most important thing is to make sure to put your plant baby in a room you\u2019re frequently in, for various reasons!<\/p>\n

The first and most critical reason would be that houseplants need a good amount of airflow and air circulation to grow well, and still air can contribute to some plant diseases.<\/p>\n

Secondly, it\u2019s no surprise that a single plant in your room can instantly bring a sense of warmth and calm into the place. What\u2019s even better is that plants have been proven to clear out toxins from the air, and have excellent air purifying features.<\/p>\n

Lastly, show your houseplant off and place it in an ubiquitous area like the living room<\/a> or your bedroom<\/a> \u2014 it functions amazingly as a statement piece for your house, transforming your HDB into a wonderful sanctuary of sorts. We suggest the bigger snake plant to take root in a planter box<\/a> on the floor, while smaller plants like succulents can easily be placed on wall-mounted shelves or bookshelves. The choices are quite endless!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re lucky to have a balcony, why not create a mini jungle in there, like an inviting home away from home? Lush, gorgeous greenery would serve to be a welcome contrast to the rest of your home.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

We hope that these tips are useful to any budding houseplant enthusiast out there! Not everyone is born with the elusive green thumbs, but it sure doesn\u2019t hurt to start small and easy, and slowly make your way up! Houseplants are classic, pleasant to look at, and is definitely a key addition to any HDB.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [\/spb_row] [spb_boxed_content type=”whitestroke” custom_bg_colour=”#f2f2f2″ box_link_target=”_self” padding_vertical=”4″ padding_horizontal=”5″ width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n
