Practical tips that will revive your plants
Among the very effective means that will lead to better plant growth, we can include:

- Leachate from citrus: steep orange or lemon peels in water for at least a day and then water the plants with the solution.

What water should you use to water houseplants?
The most suitable is to water houseplants with rainwater. If you don’t have it at your disposal, water with tap water but always let it stand. Its temperature should be neither higher nor lower than room temperature. Choose the amount of water according to the type of plant. Each one needs something different. Also avoid overwatering plants, which could lead to subsequent mold formation and your plant could die as a result.
