Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I water indoor plants in India?+
Most indoor plants in India need watering every 5-7 days in summer and every 10-14 days in winter. Always check if the top 2cm of soil is dry before watering again.
Why are my indoor plant leaves turning yellow in India?+
Yellow leaves in Indian conditions are usually caused by overwatering, insufficient light, or nutrient deficiency. Check drainage, move to brighter location, and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser.
Which fertiliser is best for Indian houseplants?+
A balanced NPK liquid fertiliser (like 20-20-20) works well for most Indian houseplants during the growing season (March-October). Use half strength every 2-3 weeks.
How do I protect plants from Delhi's harsh summer heat?+
Move plants away from direct afternoon sun, water early morning, mist leaves in evenings, and use mulch in pots to retain moisture. Avoid repotting during peak summer.
When should I repot plants in India?+
The best time to repot in India is February-March (before summer) or September-October (after monsoon). Avoid repotting in peak summer (May-June) or winter.
