Houseplants add coziness and beauty to the interior, but it is important to choose the right location for their healthy development. An improperly chosen location can lead to drying out or damage to the plants, so you should take into account the lighting conditions and temperature.

First of all, flowering plants that do not tolerate direct sunlight should not be placed on a windowsill or balcony where they can get too much light. Sunburn can cause discoloration and brittleness of the leaves, even with regular watering. It is important to monitor the condition of the leaves to avoid damage, according to santeplusmag.

In addition, some plants do not like dry air, which is often found near heat sources, such as radiators. Therefore, it is better to keep them away from such places. Another danger to flowering plants is drafts, which can cause them to lose moisture, leading to leaf fall.

Insufficient watering can also cause plants to dry out. If the plant starts to turn yellow or break, it may not have enough water. In this case, it is recommended to soak the pot in water for a few minutes so that the roots can be saturated with moisture.

Be careful with excessive watering, as it can lead to root rot. If the plant is already saturated with water, remove the damaged roots and repot it in a new substrate. Excessive moisture is more dangerous than a lack of it.

Finally, do not moisten the leaves of plants when they are in direct sunlight. This can cause burns due to water droplets that act like lenses. Proper care and a suitable location will help keep the flowers healthy and beautiful.
