Indoor plants

The health and appearance of indoor plants are strongly influenced by environmental factors such as light, humidity of the substrate and air, temperature, drafts, etc. Also, the general condition of the plants can be affected by the occurrence of diseases, pest attacks or nutritional deficiencies. Plants can be influenced by a single factor or a combination of several factors. Thus, in order to maintain the health, vigor and appearance of the plants, it is important to recognize the main symptoms, identify and eliminate the causes that determined their appearance and ensure the optimal conditions for growth and development.

The information presented is indicative, and the symptoms, causes and solutions may vary, depending on the species. When choosing fertilizers, the requirements of each species will be taken into account, and the application will be carried out in accordance with the specifications in the product description. In addition, if the symptoms persist or may be caused by diseases or pests, it is advisable to consult a specialist for a suitable recommendation.
