Pot styling, Indoor and Outdoor Plant care, and related topics, here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) that readers have asked us:

1. Q: Can I use the same soil for both indoor and outdoor potted plants?

- A: While some general purpose soils work for both, it's advisable to pick soil choices to the specific needs of your plants, considering factors like drainage, aeration, and nutrient content.

2. Q: How often should I water my potted plants?

- A: The frequency of watering depends on various factors, including plant type, season, and indoor/outdoor conditions. Regularly check the soil moisture, and water when the top 3cm feels dry.

3. Q: What are some low maintenance outdoor plants suitable for beginners?

- A: Consider starting with resilient options like succulents, herbs, or native plants, which often require less care and are more forgiving for beginners.

4. Q: How do I choose the right pots for my plants?

- A: Select pots that provide adequate drainage, are appropriately sized for the plant's root system, and complement the aesthetic of your space, considering factors like material and colour.

5. Q: Can I use any fertiliser for my potted plants?

- A: It's essential to choose a fertiliser that aligns with your plant's specific needs. Some plants may require a balanced, all purpose fertiliser, while others benefit from a more specialised formula.

6. Q: What indoor plants thrive in low-light conditions?

- A: Opt for low-light-tolerant plants such as snake plants, pothos, or ZZ plants for areas with limited natural light.

7. Q: How do I prevent pests on my potted plants?

- A: Regularly inspect your plants for signs of pests, practice good hygiene, and consider natural pest control methods like neem oil or introducing beneficial insects.

8. Q: Can I repot my plants at any time of the year?

- A: While some plants tolerate repotting throughout the year, it's generally recommended to do so during the growing season (Spring or early Summer) to minimise stress on the plant.

9. Q: What are some space saving pot styling ideas for smaller spaces?

- A: Explore vertical gardening with wall mounted or hanging planters, use compact plant varieties, and consider creative placement, such as window sills, shelves and other nooks.

10. Q: How do I choose plants that won't be toxic to pets in an indoor setting?

- A: Select pet friendly plants like spider plants, Boston ferns, or succulents that are not toxic to cats and dogs. Always cross check plant toxicity with reliable sources.
