Deco and Lemon , we'll tell you everything you need to know about them!
Common mistakes with flowers and houseplants
While it's true that
decorative artificial plants are increasingly popular in the world of interior design, especially thanks to their very natural and realistic appearance, real plants still hold a strong position. But what common mistakes do we continue to make despite their long-standing presence in our lives?
Direct sunlight exposure. It's clear that plants need sunlight, as well as water. But we don't need to drown them, right? Well, the same applies to our warm star; we must avoid overexposing them to radiation. That said, there are certain cases where it's advisable, such as with cacti.
Avoiding overwatering indoor plants. Another common mistake when caring for plants is related to the previous point: overwatering. Not all plants require the same amount of water or have the same needs. Keep this in mind!
Other things we do wrong when caring for indoor plants
Neglecting the condition of the roots. Another very common mistake with
houseplants is not paying attention to the roots. If your leaves start to look wilted, something might be wrong down there.
Lack of information about your plants. As we mentioned in the previous section, each species has its own specific needs. Ideally, you should learn about the plants that decorate your home.
Decorating with houseplants is a matter of attitude. You might not believe it, but people's attitudes and the care they give their plants also significantly influence their growth and health. Be positive and pamper them as they deserve!

, you avoid placing your plants directly in the air conditioning vents , as this will create a drier environment. Similarly, avoid sudden temperature changes and drafts. And, of course,
