In my visits, I do not just tell you to water less. I check your drainage holes, adjust your soil mix, and teach you the finger-test method so you can feel the moisture levels yourself before the next pour. You are not a bad plant parent. You are likely just missing the right context. In my years of visiting homes across Gurugram, I have noticed that most plant deaths happen because of generic advice. Someone tells you to water every day, so you water every day, ignoring that your home’s micro-climate is unique. ### The Watering Puzzle Plants like the Pilea or Fiddle Leaf Fig do not need a strict schedule. They need you to observe them. I teach my clients how to check the soil depth and drainage. If the pot does not drain, the roots sit in water and decay. It is a simple fix, but it changes everything. ### Sunlight and Rotation Plants move toward light. If you leave a plant in the same spot for months, it becomes lopsided. I always tell my clients to rotate their pots every time they water. It ensures all sides receive adequate sunlight, leading to balanced, healthy growth. It is a small habit that makes a massive difference. ### Why Professional Maintenance Helps Sometimes, your garden needs more than just tips. If you are busy, or if your plants already look sad, you might need a professional hand to reset the balance. Whether it is pruning back dead leaves to encourage new growth or applying the right organic pest control when you spot aphids, I help you handle the heavy lifting. My goal is to get your garden to a state where it is thriving again, so you can go back to simply enjoying the greenery. Let us get your plants back on track, together. ## About Apna Maali I am your Apna Maali. For me, plants are not just decor, they are living family members.
