Tips for Healthy Houseplants

"Check your plants for salt build-up

Using tap water for your indoor plants is fine, but after awhile you may notice some white or yellowish crusty material on the soil surface. This is salt build-up. City water has flouride and chlorine, both are types of salt. If you soften the water too, then you may have even more!

Usually if there is enough salt on the surface to be noticed, then it's time to re-pot your plants. You can bring them to us and we will do it for you for a small charge."
