The right substrate for houseplants
Finding the right soil for your plants is not that easy. Because conventional flower or planting soil is not the best choice for Monstera, Philodendron and Co. An alternative is to mix your own soil substrate or enrich peat-free organic soil with mineral substrates. You can order various components such as perlite online.

Plant vessels: planter, ceramic pot and saucer
The right planter plays an important role: Your pot should always have holes in the bottom and stand on a saucer or in a (nice) planter. This allows excess water to drain away and waterlogging is avoided. There are no limits to the pots, neither in size nor in material. Ceramics and terracotta are very popular.

Must have plant accessories - watering can and spray bottle
To avoid spilling anything when watering, you should use a jug with a fine spout. A spray bottle is also a must to increase the humidity around the plants and prevent them from drying out.
Trellis for climbing plants
Climbing plants and large plants like the popular Monstera often require support to grow properly. Invest in climbing aids made of coconut, moss or metal to give your plants support.
There are great gadgets for attaching the tendrils: Velcro or clips. The latter are suitable for hanging on the wall.
Decoration for your houseplant is very trendy
Not a must, but often a hit with plant fans: Make your houseplants an eye-catcher in your home by embellishing them with trendy decorations. From decorative hanging baskets made of macrame to accessories that you can attach directly to the leaves, there are countless ways to stylishly showcase your plants with decorations.
Drainage product
By using expanded clay in the bottom of the pot, excess water is drained away better and waterlogging is avoided. This prevents root rot and other problems that can arise from too much moisture. There are now also special drainage products, such as discs that are placed under the pot.
