Caring for animal and child-friendly house plants

After you have found the suitable animal and child-friendly houseplant, you must of course take good care of it. For example, pay attention to animal and child-friendly care products. Do not use granular fertilizer. Pets in particular can sometimes confuse this with a treat or toy and remove the granules from the potting soil. In addition, animal and child-friendly house plants also need enough love, attention and the right care.

Light

The amount of light your plant receives has everything to do with the location of the plant. Is she in a sunny spot or in a spot with more shade? When it comes to light, there are also plants that are super easy and thrive in any place. Still, every plant needs a little light to grow well. Always check beforehand which light makes your plant happiest!

Water

How much water your houseplants need also depends on the amount of light they get. Usually, the more light, the more heat and the more water the plant needs. By the way, too much water is one of the biggest causes that a plant does not survive. So make sure you always give small amounts instead of a large splash all at once. This prevents your plant from getting wet feet and root rot as a result. Some plants also like it when you spray its leaves with the plant sprayer once in a while.

Nutrition

So granules are a no-go. Rather use a liquid fertilizer, such as our PLNTS fertilizer. Give the food once every 1 to 2 weeks during the growth period of your plant. Each bottle contains a selection of the most nutritious ingredients in an extra concentrated form, so it lasts a long time. And the best thing is… it's 100% organic and non-toxic to humans and animals! In the winter months, October to February, you can halve the dosage, because then your plants need less nutrition. Give your plant a boost with the PLNTS fertilizer.
