Watering depends on the type of houseplant you want, but as a general rule keep the top of container moist. Do NOT over water. Make sure all containers drain well. For Super Blooms try "Green Lights" 12-55-6. Be sure to read instruction carefully.
Check your plants at least once per week, look for pests, insects etc... Brown tip leaves could indicate over watering. Be sure to isolate the plant whenever insects are present. Use a good all purpose insect spray. We recommend "Schultz Expert Gardener Insect Spray". Be sure the product is specifically labeled for both the pest and plant species.
Clean your houseplants regularly, remove dead or dying leaves. If your plant is over-infested with insects trash it. Make sure to wrap it in plastic and dump inside your garbage bin.
All houseplants require some natural lighting and sunlight is the best method. Remember most houseplants that bloom require MORE sunlight. Try to using south facing windows for your houseplants as this side will usually have abundant sunlight.
The "finger method" for watering. I am not talking about the person in your rear view mirror! Place your finger in the soil. If it is moist it probably does not need water and if dry ADD WATER. Pretty simple huh!
