Learn simple steps to revive drooping houseplants and keep them healthy.
The holiday feeling quickly evaporates when you arrive home to drooping houseplants. Not to worry because here are some simple steps that will perk them up again. Give them a good soak. Put them into the bath filled with about 5cm of water and leave them in there until the potting soil is completely moist. You can speed up the process by moistening the topsoil. Another option is to use a hand-held shower and gently soak the plants.
This also washes off the dust that may have accumulated on the leaves. If the rain is falling put the pots outside to soak. Wipe the leaves with a soft, damp cloth to get rid of dust. Allow the plants to drain well after soaking. Cut away dead foliage and flowers and trim into shape. When you next water the plants, feed a liquid fertiliser at half strength and repeat every two weeks until you see new growth, then reduce feeding to once a month.
