1. (#watering) How to tell if it’s time to water? Stick your finger into the soil up to the first joint (3 cm). Is it dry and crumbly? Time to water. Is it moist? Wait a few more days. 2. (#lowlight) Top 3 plants for dark rooms ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas), Snake Plant (Sansevieria, or «mother-in-law’s tongue»), and Aspidistra survive with minimal light. 3. (#catsafe) Plants safe for cats Chlorophytum, Haworthia, Calathea, and Nephrolepis—if your pet chews a leaf, there is no harm. 4. (#winter) The radiators are scorching: how to save your flowers? Move pots away from windowsills directly over the radiators; place a bowl of moist expanded clay near them. 5. (#yellowing) Why is the bottom leaf turning yellow? If only the oldest, lowest leaf is yellowing—that is normal growth. If all the leaves are affected—you have overwatered the plant. 6. (#care) Why wipe the leaves? Dust clogs the plant’s «pores,» making it absorb light less efficiently. Wipe them with a damp sponge every two weeks. 7. (#repotting) You bought a flower. Should I repot it right away? No, allow the plant 5–7 days to acclimate. The exception is if the soil is soaked and the roots are already rotting. 8. (#revival) Overwatered plant: three steps to salvation Remove the root ball, dry it with napkins, prune any rotten roots, and replant it in dry, fresh potting mix. 9. (#basics) Plastic or ceramic? Beginners should start with plastic (the soil dries evenly). Unglazed ceramic evaporates moisture quickly. 10. (#misting) The myth of misting A sprayer raises humidity only for a couple of minutes and can cause spots on the leaves. It is better to use a humidifier.
