* Check soil moisture before watering. Use your finger — if the top 1-2 inches are moist, skip watering. * Avoid overwatering— it's the top killer during monsoon due to slower evaporation.
2. Drainage is key :
* Ensure pots have drainage holes . * Use well-draining soil . Add perlite or cocopeat if needed.
3. Humidity control :
* Open windows or use a fan during very humid days to prevent fungus. * Avoid misting during monsoon unless your home is very dry.
4. Sunlight :
* Place plants near bright indirect light or a well-lit window. * Rotate pots weekly for even growth.
5. Pest Watch :
* Wipe leaves with neem water or a damp cloth weekly. * Look out for fungus gnats , mealybugs, or leaf spot.
