使用错误的容器

You Water Too Often
可以太多浇水植物。当你过于水,你可以导致工厂的根源腐烂,这可能导致死亡。窗台, a company that ships indoor plants all over the United States, offers this rule of thumb: Most common houseplants prefer frequent waterings, but there are special exceptions. “Think of your plants’ natural environment: is it rainy and tropical or hot and dry? These simple questions will help you gauge how much water your plant needs,” the company says.
你不够水
在拐杖上,植物需要水,如果他们没有足够的话,他们不会太久。虽然沙漠本地人如多肉植物更喜欢保持干燥,但每隔几周或几个月只想要一点水,蕨类植物可能需要一次或两次浇水一次或两次。确保您知道每种工厂的水需求,然后遵循浇水时间表以满足他们的需求。
看害虫
One thing to keep an eye out for is mites and other pests that attack your plants. “The best way to control insects and related pests on houseplants is through prevention, as it is almost always easier to prevent a pest infestation than to eliminate one,” according to theClemson Cooperative Extension。为了防止害虫,克莱姆森表明在将任何工厂内部进行侵扰的迹象,将新植物从您家中的植物隔离六周并每两到三周洗涤光滑的植物以阻止侵扰。
Here Comes the Sun
务必了解您的植物光需求。虽然有些可能需要大量的阳光,但其他人更喜欢间接的光,所以它们不会被烧焦。如果你的工厂缺乏阳光,它可能会把浅绿色变成黄色到白色,根据明尼苏达大学的扩展。Plants without enough sunlight may also drop their leaves, fail to produce flowering buds, and stems may become “leggy,” a term to describe stems that are no longer thin and appear to be reaching toward the source of light.
你忘了修剪
It may seem counterproductive, but pruning is essential to healthy plant growth. The practice of cutting your plant back is not only good for houseplants, but indoor herbs as well. If you see any dying or dead leaves or branches on your plant, go ahead and cut it back a bit, which will not only help your plant grow but can also help prevent unwanted pests.
Avoid Window Drafts
即使你的植物喜欢在阳光下晒太阳,请小心冷,Drofty Windows。从绝缘窗口中的草稿可能在任何时候都会损坏热爱的植物。此外,避免将热带植物放在寒冷的冬季通常在寒冷的冬季使用的门附近,因为它们可以每次打开门时给植物一个不需要的冷空气爆炸。
Poisonous Plants and Pets

位置,位置,位置
Many gardeners may be tempted to keep all their plants together, which isn’t always the ideal setup. Since each plant has unique needs, make sure you are conscious of where you place each individual plant in your home. Take into consideration sunlight and watering needs. In addition, if you have young children or pets, you may need to keep your plants in a spot where they can be left alone to grow and thrive.
你混合和匹配
While variety may be the spice of life for humans, that’s not always true for plants and herbs. Think of it this way: You have a large pot and want to grow three different herbs so you go with three favorites—basil, thyme and mint. Except mint is invasive and ends up taking over the entire pot. Bottom line: Know your plants so you won’t end up with a container hog.
Ignoring Soil Quality
您的植物从阳光和土壤中获得营养,因此如果您的容器中的土壤缺乏营养,您的植物将蓬勃发展。如果您的工厂没有过度超过其当前容器,窗台建议每年或两者改变植物的灌封组合。改变灌封拌合将有助于您的室内植物生长并保持尖端形状。
一次占用太多植物
For beginner gardeners, it’s easy to go a little overboard when buying plants for your home, however, it’s best to start slow. Taking on too much at once when it comes to plant care can be overwhelming and may end up in frustration. To start out, pick two or three plants. Once you feel comfortable caring for those, gradually add to your collection.
