The Right Plant For The Right Spot

The first and most important thing to do before you purchase a living indoor green plant, is to check out the light source this plant will receive while indoors.  Most plants will die a slow death if they receive inadequate light.  Even if the light is questionable, a plant over watered once will take weeks  to dry out and the combination of poor light and excessive water is a sure death.

The easiest way to tell how much light is going to be at the spot where the plant is going to be, is to place your hand 1 foot above this spot.  If you can see a distinct shadow of your 5 fingers, this area is considered bright light.

If at 1 foot above this spot you can see a shadow but no distinct outline when you move your hand back and forth, this is considered indirect or medium light condition.

Last, if at 1 foot above the spot, no shadow of your hand is present or very little distinction of movement is noticed when moving your hand, this is known as low light.

At The Greenhouse at Genrich's, all indoor plants are marked with proper care instructions.  This  includes a line on the tag for light conditions, watering, special care. Just pick the right plant for the right spot and you will have instant success.
