With the arrival of fine weather, rising temperatures and longer sunny days, it is very likely that yourour plants will dry out more quickly. So check your plants and their compost more regularly, and find your new rhythm for each of them. Keep in mind that plants in small POTS will dry out more quickly than those in large POTS, because the volume of soil there is minimal. If your air is dry, you will need to check them almost regularly.

2. Rethink your interior based on your plants.

It is recommended to take care to keep your shoots away from the window, the sun's rays are stronger there and the air is drier. Find a new place for your plants, where they will find the light and humidity they need.

3. Spring cleaning and caring for your plants.

Indoors, plants can more easily see their leaves covered in a fine film of dust. Not only does this diminish their beauty, but it does not facilitate their photosynthesis. Try to remember to gently wipe your leaves with a damp cloth from time to time to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Take a good look at your plants, some will require a good repotting. Signs of a plant that is too cramped can be : the roots come out of the pot from the bottom (or the top!), the oldest leaves turn yellow and fall off, the plant no longer produces or produces few new ones leaves, the new leaves are small, the plant is curled up on itself...
