FOR INDOOR PLANTS :
- Position them right
- Pay attention to the soil
- Use kitchen waste
- Weed your plants regularly

It is also imperative that you pay attention to the amount of sunlight your plant need. If it requires minimum sunlight, place it indoors, next to a window for a partially warm spot. Alternatively, position it outside in the balcony for some serious sun-tanning.
Make sure you use good quality soil—dark red soil would have higher levels of nutrients to help your plants thrive. Aerate the top soil once in ten days by shuffling it around with a stick or a fork. A fresh sprinkle of fertiliser every two months will also boost your plant health.
Anything organic that comes out of your kitchen is nutrition for your plants. Used tea leaves, coffee grounds, powdered eggshells and banana peels will all provide your plants with useful nutrients, and you can also take it one step further by recycling the water you used to wash grains, lentils and veggies to water your plants.
Keep an eye out for weeds, bugs, caterpillars and other insects that weaken plants and munch on the leaves. Neem acts as a natural insecticide and anti-fungicide, so make yourself a natural, homemade repellant by spraying some neem oil carefully onto your plants.
