The 10 Indoor Plant Care Tools You Didn't Know You Needed

Caring for plants is something a lot of people find therapeutic and love to do. This pleasurable task can be made much easier and more efficient when the appropriate plant care tools are used. In this blog post, I present to you the 10 indoor plant care tools you did not know you needed. Some essential tools that every plant parent should have in their arsenal to ensure their plants remain healthy and pest-free.

The dial on the moisture meter moves depending on the soil's wetness or dryness, and you can easily tell when it's time to water your plants, enabling you to provide your plants with the proper hydration when they need it.

Another very useful feature that any good watering can has is a slim spout which facilitates accurate watering, and ensures the water goes where you want it. A large capacity watering can like the 1.9-litre option makes watering a breeze without having to refill frequently. For those with just a few plants, a smaller 1-litre watering can is a suitable option.

Labeling your plants is an effective way to ensure that you provide each plant with the proper care they need because then you know what the plant actually is and you could also include the care instructions on the label!

Some propagation vessels even come with innovative features, like humidity domes and heating mats, to create optimal growing conditions for your little green babies.

They are especially useful in colder climates or homes with inconsistent temperatures. You can easily create a propagation area that has a heat mat to suit the number of plants as they come in various sizes. Using a heat mat is a sure way to speed up propagations and germinations.

Whether you're a seasoned plant parent or just starting, adding a heat mat to your plant care routine can help ensure that your indoor garden thrives year-round.

For plants in pon or leca, scoops are essential for keeping the substrate in place and preventing it from spilling out onto your floors or counters. Using a scoop can make it easier to top up the pon or leca when needed, ensuring that your plants always have the right amount of moisture and nutrients.

When it comes to pots for your plants, using net pots can be an excellent choice. Net pots are essentially nursery pots with a lot of ventilation holes that allow your plants to breathe and promote healthy root growth. Using clear pots with plenty of holes can be beneficial, as they allow you to see the roots of your plants and ensure they are not getting too wet or dry.

While net pots can be purchased online or at a gardening store, making them yourself can be a fun and cost-effective option. With just a normal nursery pot and a soldering iron, you can make your own net pots with ease. Just remember to wear a mask, and hand protective gloves and work in a well-ventilated area.

This mixture works wonders to repel pesky insects and prevent them from damaging your plants. I spray my plants at least once a week on both the front and back of the leaves until they are nicely dripping and look wet. This keeps those pesky pests away and ensures my plants remain healthy and happy.

Never forget, that using tools that make your life easier means you will be able to enjoy taking care of your plants and you will be rewarded with gorgeous, luscious plants.

Remember to choose tools that work within your budget and space, and always prioritize safety when working with equipment like a soldering iron.
