Indoor gardening
Did you know that people aged 18-24 years are said to be those who buy the greatest number of houseplants ? In the UK , this amounts to an average spend of over £ 25 per month . In the last ten years , spending on houseplants has doubled . Surveys have shown that young adults firmly believe that as well as adding attractive decorative interior design touches , houseplants also improve the mood of occupants by bringing nature into the home . Indoor greenery is also said to improve air quality and increase the feeling of good health .
These new additions are not without problems , however . Over half the number of people enjoying houseplants at home have admitted to accidentally killing at least five ! Overwatering is a widespread problem , together with light levels that are too low . We often kill our plants with kindness , lavishing them with too much attention , including water and feed . Most houseplants prefer compost that is on the dry side and minimal feeding , whilst occupying a light-filled situation out of direct sunlight .
