Browning or crisping leaves? Wilted leaves? Droopy or curly leaves?
Most “popular” houseplants are actually in the classification of tropical plants. Depending on where your plant was “born and raised”, it may or may not be acclimated to different conditions. (Think about someone born and raised in Florida. I have a cousin who comes to visit. When we are wearing shorts and t-shirts when it’s 70, she’s wearing a hoodie and freezing! Her body just isn’t adapted to the same temperature we are!). Living in Southern Idaho, we definitely do not have “tropical” weather conditions. So if we want healthy houseplants, especially some of the more common ones sold, we need to help create an environment that they will be happy in. Today I encourage you to get your plants a mister! And give them a spritz every day or two! They will appreciate you for it!
