PLANTS IN THE HOME

for the winter season. Be sure to give your newly-transported plants the right amount of light. This may require us- ing special grow lights. Keep in mind though that different types of plants thrive better with different color spec- trums and intensities, so group plants under the right lights accordingly. If your indoor air is dry in winter, you may find that misting the leaves of your warm climate and tropical plants will help provide needed humidity.
PREVENT PESTS
Unfortunately, keeping houseplants often attracts insects that can harm them and bug you. But there are steps you can take to prevent a pest problem in your home. One important thing youcandoistobesureyouarenot overwatering plants. Too much water in effect drowns plants. It can also create standing water that becomes a
breeding ground for flying insects. You can also provide round-the-clock pro- tection from fruit flies, gnats and flies by plugging a Zevo Flying Insect Trap into a regular outlet near your plants and wherever flying insects enter your home or gather. Rather than chemi- cal insecticides, the traps use multi- spectrum light technology to attract flying bugs into a discreet glue sheet cartridge. When the cartridge is full, replace it and toss the used one with- out ever having to touch a dead bug. To learn more, visit zevoinsect.com.
There are many plant species that while beautiful, don’t require much care. So, if you’re new to owning plants, consider starting out with low- er-maintenance options, such as suc- culents or snake plants. Because these plants don’t need much water, they are also great options for those who travel
frequently or those who are simply forgetful. Have furry friends? Always check whether a given plant is toxic to pets before bringing one home.
Having a green thumb can seem like magic. However, with the right tools and knowledge, anyone can become a nurturing plant parent.
