In summer it could be as often as once a week in summer and fortnightly in winter. Indoor Plants need light to create their energy and survive, so if a plant isn’t getting enough light it’ll exhibit some tell-tale signs, look out for pale growth and weak flowering. If your plant shows these signs move it to somewhere that has more light.Most indoor house plants originate from sub-tropical rainforests where humidity can be as high as 100 per cent.
