It is that time of the year when you wake up to a slight nip in the air. Your plants are gearing up for the seasonal changes. Growth eases out, leaves change their colour, start falling to increase defence mechanism in fall.
People’s craze for ‘rare’ and ‘exotic’ foreign plants is posing a threat to urban green covers and natural forests, nearly 66% of India’s natural systems are threatened by invasive plant species
3 things to look out in potted plants during this season
1. Water
Do not overwater your plants as temperature is cooler now. Check topsoil before watering.
2. Fungus & pests
Dryness, excess water may increase fungus, spider mites, other leaf sucking pests.
3. Brightness
Shift plants in a warm, brighter spot or keep room lights on, especially during evenings.
