• Taking the time to buy healthy plants will ensure the plant lasts longer.
• Read your plants care label and become aware of what it needs as every plant is different.

• Putting your plant out in the rain can help dissolve the salts and other minerals found in hard tap water.
• Regularly remove any dead leaves or flowers from your plant.
• Using leaf shine sprays can help protect your plant from disease.
• Outdoor plant pots will need drainage holes and a pot plate to catch the excess water.
• Some indoor plant pots will have an internal water well step to lift the pot and prevent root rot.
