Montessori Practical Life: Indoor Plant Care in Winter

Tuesday, January 29, 2019

Vito loves our indoor plants!  He's always checking on them, making sure they get enough water to stay alive this winter season.  But is water enough?

Montessori Practical Life: Indoor Plant Care in Winter
Because of his interest in minding the indoor plants, we've been learning how to take care of indoor plants this winter the past few days.

First this "watering can" is really really good.  It has a long pointy spout that kids can easily control and put water into the soil of potted plants.

Then I got the kids a water spray to moist and clean the leaves of the plants.

And with our growing collection, we familiarized ourselves on how to care for these beautiful plants:

  • Do not "over water" the plants.  The soil needs to be moist, not wet.  Some of these plants came with an instruction on how to water, so I kept those in their pots.
  • Clean the plants (from dust) to keep off bugs and insects.
  • Some plants need plenty of sun, some are fine in the shades.  So once in a while, we would place the plants in the sitting room to get the sunlight they needed.
  • Re-pot when needed, something we're not doing yet.

And that's about it!  Having indoor plants is a great way to get your kids into "gardening" and learning how to take care of their environment.  And of course, it is a great activity this winter time when everyone is on house arrest :D
