5️⃣ Tips for Growing Healthy Indoor Plants
💧 Watering: Wait until the soil is completely dry before watering again. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot.
☀️ Light: Most indoor plants prefer bright, indirect sunlight. For lower-light areas, explore Shade-Loving Plants for best results.
💨 Ventilation: Good air circulation helps plants breathe and prevents mold or pest issues.
