There is no one-size-fits-all guide to properly caring for houseplants. Every person has different needs and preferences, and the same is true in the plant world. Before buying a plant, you should consider how much light it needs, what temperature and humidity levels are ideal, and how often it needs to be watered. You can also naturally support your houseplants with Effective Microorganisms.
Since potting soil provides only limited nutrients, houseplants need to be fertilized regularly. Essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium ensure healthy growth. You don’t necessarily need to buy special fertilizers - tried-and-true home remedies like coffee grounds, eggshells, diluted potato cooking water, or the leachate from a Bokashi bucket serve the same purpose. To maximize nutrient uptake through healthy roots, it’s worth supplementing with the Urban Jungle watering additive. Its combination of Effective Microorganisms, micronutrients, and plant extracts specifically strengthens the plant’s defenses against pests.

What makes Magic Orchid so special?
When it comes to watering, there are no one-size-fits-all answers along the lines of “half a liter once a week.” Why is that? Plants have different “roots.” Those that come from dry regions, such as cacti or succulents, need very little water. Others—like the popular Monstera—come from the rainy tropics and need more water. In between, there are many nuances—and thus many ways to get it wrong. Incidentally, plants usually don’t dry out; they’re more likely to be overwatered, which can lead to waterlogging and rotting roots.
That’s why you should find out in advance what your houseplant’s water needs are. In addition, lighting conditions, temperature, and humidity also play a role in caring for houseplants. Before watering, you can use the finger test to check if the soil is dry. If it’s already very dry, it won’t absorb water well. In this case, it’s better to water gradually in small amounts: Stop immediately if water starts to run into the saucer or planter, and water again after half an hour so the soil can slowly absorb the moisture.
It’s best to use standing water at room temperature with low calcium content—rainwater or melted snow in the winter are ideal. Note: Very few plants tolerate waterlogged soil. Avoid this by always removing excess water or ensuring proper drainage in the pot through a drainage hole or a layer of gravel.
And what if something does go wrong and the plant has problems? Then we’re here to advise you and provide help with pests and more!

This depends largely on the type of plant, the location, and the season. However, waterlogging often occurs because plants tend to be overwatered. You should definitely avoid waterlogging.
Yellow leaves and soft stems often indicate overwatering. Dry, brown leaf tips, on the other hand, are a sign of underwatering.
Choose an organic-certified, peat-reduced potting mix. High-quality options, such as organic black soil with Terra Preta technology and Effective Microorganisms, promote a dense root system for better nutrient and water uptake. Also, tailor the soil to the plant’s needs (e.g., by mixing in sand for cacti) and simply dispose of old soil in the compost.
The location is crucial for healthy growth. Light conditions, temperature, and humidity should always be tailored to the specific plant.
They support the plant naturally, promote soil life, and are gentle on people, animals, and the environment.
Regularly wiping down the leaves and using appropriate care products keeps the leaf surfaces clean and promotes photosynthesis. Dust buildup can impair light absorption and should therefore be removed regularly, for example by gently wiping or rinsing the leaves. The Urban Jungle spray solution helps ensure gentle care for the leaves.
Popular houseplants include the Monstera, Ficus, Calathea, and spider plant. They bring life to your rooms, improve indoor air quality, and create a pleasant atmosphere. However, the best plant for you depends primarily on lighting conditions, the level of care you’re willing to provide, and, of course, your personal preferences.
Plants like snake plants, lucky bamboo, pothos, and cacti are particularly low-maintenance. They require little water, are forgiving of mistakes, and are ideal if you don’t have much time to care for your houseplants.
Plants such as snake plant, pothos, zamioculcas, or peace lily are well-suited for shadier locations. These plants thrive even with limited light and are therefore ideal for darker rooms or corners.
