When purchasing, pay attention to the condition of the leaves — they should be free of spots and damage. Inspect the undersides of leaves for pests. Check if the soil ball is not too dry. It's better to buy plants from specialized stores where storage conditions are maintained.

What to Consider When Caring for Plants

Most of these plants prefer bright diffused light and moderate watering. Water only when the top layer of soil has dried out. During heating season, mist leaves regularly or use a humidifier. Feed with special fertilizers for indoor plants from spring to autumn.

If you have pets at home, check the plant's safety. Some species, like pothos and monstera, can be toxic to cats and dogs. In such cases, place plants in areas inaccessible to pets or choose safer alternatives.
