How to Take Care of Indoor Plants in Monsoon Season?
Monsoon and indoor plants have a weird relationship. Your plants can get dramatic real quick. The main problem isn’t rain. It’s humid, less sunlight, and too much water. Here’s what actually can help
- Water less, not more
Soil stays wet for many days in monsoon time. Stick your finger 1 inch in. If it’s still damp, skip watering.
- Light matters
Cloudy days equal to the less sun. Move your plants closer to a window. If that’s not possible, then 3-4 hours of indirect light still works. Wipe the leaves too so dust doesn’t block sunlight.
- Airflow is everything
Keep a fan on for 1-2 hours or open windows when it’s not pouring. Don’t shove all plants in one corner.

What is the top material for indoor planters?
It totally depends on your plant type and the watering habit, which reflects its material. But when it comes to the top material, then ceramic and terracotta are considered top choices for plant health, whereas plastic and fiberglass are more convenient and light weight.
What's the difference between pots & planters?
Planters are usually larger than pots in size. That is why they need more soil and more surface area to grow, whereas pots are smaller than planters, hence, they are more convenient and lightweight.
Why are the leaves of my indoor plant turning yellow?
Usually it’s too much water or because of less airflow. During monsoon season, you should cut back watering and wipe dust off leaves. Also, make sure your pot has drainage holes so water isn’t sitting at the bottom.
Can I use regular garden soil for my indoor planters?
Not really, garden soil gets compacted in indoor plants and holds too much water. Use a light potting mix made for indoor plants that will drain better and keep your plant’s roots happy
What should you put at the bottom of an indoor planter?
Just use a waterproof tray or a small plastic sheet underneath. It will save your floors and furniture from water rings and scratches.
