It would seem that in a warm, cozy apartment, unlike an unpredictable street, plants should feel great. But pleasing pampered indoor flowers is not easy. What can they not like, and because of what they most often die?

Everyone who grows indoor plants would like their green "pet" to delight the eye with its beauty and health as long as possible. However, most of the flowers die, oddly enough, due to the kindness of their owners. It is quite difficult to create an artificial climate in a closed room so that plants can feel comfortable. When replanting them, do not be surprised that their leaves will fall off at first. Therefore, it is very important to study the features of the care of a particular plant. And emerging problems need to be addressed as soon as possible.

There are several surefire ways you can kill indoor plants:

1. Bay

Improper watering is the main enemy of indoor plants and can lead to root rot. That is why they should not be allowed to sink in water. So don't water them too often.

2. Water stagnation

If there is a lot of water in a pot with a plant, which has nowhere to drain, then the level of salts in the soil increases, which can negatively affect the growth of the plant. This can be seen when a whitish coating appears on the soil or around the edges of the pot.

3. Drought

Low moisture is harmful even to human skin. Many indoor plants are ruined by the absence of that very water, which most often occurs in the summer, when we leave our "phyto-pets" alone for a long time. In such cases, you need to take care of special drip irrigation methods.

4. Shadow

In low light, many indoor plants die. In addition, if the plant does not receive enough light, it slows down its growth, and its leaves, instead of a healthy green color, acquire a painfully pale hue.

5. Drafts

Houseplants, especially if they are tropical or flowering, do not like drafts, so it is better to place them away from doors and constantly opening windows.

6. Heat

Direct heat sources adversely affect indoor plants, depriving them of life-giving moisture, preventing them from breathing. Therefore, it is best to place them away from radiators or heaters.

7. Pests

Do not ignore the pests that have appeared on the plants, as their reproduction can be unexpectedly rapid. If you notice the appearance of a spider mite, aphids or other small parasites on the leaves, then you urgently need to get rid of them, otherwise the plant can be lost soon.

8. Tightness

It is very important to carefully size the pot for your indoor plants. If they grow out of their "home", and the roots become cramped, then the plant ceases to receive the necessary nutrition and moisture from the soil.

9. Psychological discomfort

The presence of poor energy in the room is very harmful to indoor plants. Often, after creating excellent conditions, applying the necessary fertilizers, timely watering, etc., the plant still begins to wither and ache. And vice versa, if one of the inhabitants of the house dies or moves, the plants come to life and begin to bloom even those that have never presented flowers to their owners before.

Any plants, including indoor plants, cleanse and heal the surrounding atmosphere. Sometimes it is difficult for plants to cope with too "poisonous" air, when the house has a heavy psychological aura. Flowers begin to wither and die. This happens in rooms inhabited by people with a difficult character, as well as those who are energy vampires. A bad influence on the atmosphere and indoor plants is exerted by pessimists who do not enjoy life and constantly whine about their problems, annoying those close to them. This is because negative energy is generated by dissatisfied and irritated people, which greatly pollutes the surrounding space. And if such people leave the room, indoor plants begin to bloom and grow with renewed vigor.

How to "calm" the plants?

If there is a constant source of negative energy in the house, a young houseplant is not able to purify the atmosphere. Most likely, it will die, suffocate in human emotions. Therefore, it is better to bring several large adult plants to such a house. The more there are, the easier they will cope with clearing the atmosphere of negativity. But indoor plants get sick not only from heavy energy in the room. They can also wither in people with a cheerful and cheerful character. This is due to the fact that plants feel that they are not needed. Therefore, if you want to grow indoor plants, observe the main condition - love your green pets and rejoice in every leaf or flower they release!
