Clapham Flowers Guide to Houseplants Care

Caring for your plants can be both a rewarding and relaxing experience. To ensure the well-being of your cactus, orchid, and succulent plants (Clapham Flowers range of Plants) follow this simple guide:

Cactus Care:

1. Watering: Cacti require minimal watering. During the growing season (spring and summer), water them once every 2-4 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out completely between watering. In winter, reduce watering to once every 4-6 weeks.
2. Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight for your cactus. Direct sunlight can cause scorching and discoloration.
3. Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as cactus or succulent potting soil, to prevent root rot.

Orchid Care:

1. Watering: Orchids need watering once a week during warmer months and every 10-14 days during cooler months. Make sure the soil drains well to avoid root rot.
2. Light: Orchids thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
3. Humidity: Maintain a humidity level of 40-60% to ensure healthy growth. You can achieve this by placing a tray filled with water and pebbles beneath the orchid pot.

Succulent Care:

1. Watering: Succulents require watering once every 2-3 weeks in summer and every 3-4 weeks in winter. Allow the soil to dry out completely between watering.
2. Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight for your succulents. They can tolerate direct sunlight, but acclimate them gradually to avoid sunburn.
3. Soil: Use well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent potting mix, to encourage healthy root growth.
