What are some tips for potted plant care?

1. Make sure the pot or container you choose has drainage holes so excess water can drain away.
2. Water regularly, but don’t over-water – this can cause the roots to rot.
3. Place the potted plant in an area with plenty of natural light.
4. Prune away wilting or diseased foliage and stems as soon as you notice them.
5. Nutrient-rich soil and fertilizer can help potted plants grow and thrive.
6. Don’t expose potted plants to extreme temperatures – keep their environment relatively stable.
7. If the pot is rather large, you may need to raise the pot off the ground to ensure the roots don’t become waterlogged.
8. Re-pot your plants every few years to ensure soil remains rich and protects the roots.
