As you gear up to enjoy the summer, don’t forget about your houseplants! Indoor plants bring a welcome touch of the outdoors year-round, but their care requirements change with the seasons. Follow these expert tips to keep them thriving through the warmer days to come.
Keep Them Happy and Hydrated
Houseplants may require more frequent watering in the summer months, as the heat causes moisture to evaporate more quickly, and plants go into their growing phase. Succulents are the exception, as they can go long periods of time without water and prefer a drier environment.“Water your houseplants in the morning, as this will help them soak up the water easily and rapidly,” advises Arthur Reeves, founder of Garden Troop. “Doing it later than 9 a.m. will cause more water to evaporate due to wind or heat.”
