HOW NOT TO KILL YOUR PLANTS
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.1. Keep plants away from draughts, shelves above radiators or TVs, and back doors.
2. Drain excess water from trays or soak in the sink for an hour, then drain.
3. Feed in spring, summer and early autumn with a liquid or slow-release feed.
4. Increase indoor humidity - stand plants on gravel in a saucer with water or spray from time to time.
5. Plants with dark leaves tolerate shady positions better. Flowering plants need the most light.
6. Water plants less in winter. In summer put them outside.
