3 steps to… revive your houseplants

INCREASE LIGHT It’s likely your plants have been deprived of sunlight over the winter. As well as finding a sunnier spot for them, try adding a lightcoloured gravel to the surface of the soil to reflect light upwards. RE-POT Plants typically need to be re-potted every 12-18 months, or sooner if your plant has outgrown its pot. BOOST HUMIDITY Central heating can cause a really dry environment for plants. As well as misting the leaves, create a moisture tray by filling a plate with small pebbles and water and placing your plant on top. This will create a humid area around your plant.
