Read the tip
- A year of little green rituals. Let the season remind you to look.
- Spring: notice the new growth. Check whether the plant is growing, how the light has shifted and whether its pot still fits.
- Summer: check the room. Notice air-conditioning airflow, soil moisture and drainage. Outdoor humidity does not describe every indoor room.
- Autumn and winter: look again. Changing daylight and household routines can change care needs. Adjust to the plant rather than a fixed calendar.
