Our indoor plant care guides are tailored for a wide range of common and exotic houseplants — including low-light, humidity-loving, and sun-seeking varieties. Each guide includes:
- Light requirements (bright indirect, full sun, low light)
- Proper watering routines and signs of over/underwatering
- Repotting tips and choosing the right pot size
- Humidity, airflow, and temperature considerations
- Fertiliser recommendations for leafy and flowering indoor plants
You’ll find in-depth care for popular plants like fiddle leaf figs, rubber plants, snake plants, calatheas, and indoor ferns — plus guidance on treating yellowing leaves, root rot, and pests like fungus gnats and scale. Our guides are beginner-friendly but deep enough for plant lovers looking to optimise indoor growing conditions.
Whether you’re building a lush indoor jungle or just caring for a single shelf plant, our guides offer practical advice to help your indoor plants stay healthy, hydrated, and well-fed all year round.
How often should I water indoor plants?
Watering frequency depends on the plant type, season, pot size, and light exposure. Most indoor plants should be watered once the top 2–4 cm of soil dries out — usually every 7–10 days in mild conditions. In summer or dry indoor environments, plants may need more frequent watering. Overwatering is a common issue and can lead to root rot, especially in pots without good drainage. Use your finger to test the soil before watering. For tropical plants like peace lilies and calatheas, keep the soil lightly moist. Our indoor plant guides include custom watering tips for each variety.
Why do my indoor plant leaves have brown tips?
Brown leaf tips on indoor plants are often caused by low humidity, inconsistent watering, or salt buildup from fertilisers. In dry indoor air — especially during winter — plants like ferns, calatheas, and peace lilies may suffer from dehydrated leaf edges. Underwatering or letting soil dry out completely between watering can also stress sensitive plants. To fix this, increase humidity with a pebble tray or misting, and ensure your watering routine is consistent. If salts are building up, flush the soil occasionally with clean water. Our plant-specific care pages explain how to prevent and treat brown leaf edges.
What’s the best fertiliser for potted indoor plants?
Indoor plants benefit from a balanced, gentle fertiliser applied every 2–4 weeks during their active growing season (typically spring to early autumn). A well-formulated liquid feed with an NPK like 16-4-14 supports healthy foliage, root development, and resilience indoors. Avoid overfeeding, as nutrients can build up in small pots and cause leaf burn or slow growth. Flush soil every few months to reduce salt buildup. Our indoor care guides include crop-specific fertilising advice — whether you’re growing leafy tropicals, succulents, or flowering varieties. Choose a stable, low-odour product suitable for indoor use for best results.
How do I care for a Monstera indoors?
Monstera deliciosa thrives in bright, indirect light with moderate humidity and well-draining soil. Water when the top few centimetres of soil are dry — typically once a week — and avoid letting the pot sit in water. Use a pot with drainage holes and support growth with a moss pole if needed. Monstera benefits from regular feeding during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Wipe leaves monthly to remove dust and encourage photosynthesis. Yellowing leaves often indicate overwatering or lack of light. Our full Monstera care guide includes pruning tips, repotting, aerial root care, and propagation advice.
