Greetings from Karachi

Post by AliAhmed »

Hi, I'm new here. As a kid I really loved the idea of growing my own plants but whenever I tried to do so, the plants usually died after some time. Recently I read about some indoor plants which work is air purifiers, which can enhance indoor air quality and they can also improve your health a lot. I'm about to shift to a new house and was thinking about getting Snake Plant (Mother Nature's tongue) and Money Plant for every room in my apartment but I don't want to fail again. Since you guys are very experienced in this, can you direct me to somewhere where I can learn the basics?

Thanks a lot and I'm glad I found this forum.

U can't kill mother in laws tongue/sansievaria unless u water it too much. Indoors, water once a month sparingly(don't drench the pot).
Money plant (pothos) cuttings can be grown in water

That's why I'm choosing these plants, because they are hard to kill. What about fertilizers? And how often do I have to water them?

You have three options.
Kill mother in law
Cut off the tongue
Endure it
