Weird Tricks That Will Help Keep your Plants Healthy

#Name your plants

Naming your plants might sound odd, but hear us out. Naming your indoor plants will make you more connected to them. You will remember to water them more regularly, and it solidifies the idea that your plants are here to stay long-term. If your plants have a name, you will most likely view them as thirsty rather than an object that needs water. This will make you more empathetic towards your plants, which in return will make you take care of them better!
