It’s no secret that when it comes to indoor plant care, just two basic essentials are required for survival: the right light and a solid watering routine. That said, as with any hobby, there are plenty of tools and accessories to simplify plant care, enhance your plants’ beauty, and maximize the pleasure you get from plant parenthood!
From sleek watering cans to natural plant elixirs, and even a few household items, check out some of our Plant Doctor’s favorite tried and tested indoor plant care tools!
Watering Can with Mister
This lightweight watering can is the perfect size for potted plants, and comes with a convenient, built-in mister. Why use a watering can? Two reasons: they’re comfortable to water with, and they more closely mimic actual rainfall for your plants than, say, a mason jar. The additional spray nozzle is perfect for providing your plants with a gentle mist of good old water- or perfectly diluted plant care essentials!
Olive Oil Liquid Black Soap
Keeping your plants dust-free is an easy and essential way to maintain their beauty and glow over time, but did you know that it also helps them to photosynthesize? What’s more, cleaning them regularly also helps keep the pests at bay. We love this French olive oil soap not only because it’s 100% natural and organic but also because it leaves an enviable shine on our plants’ leaves. In fact, each and every Léon & George plant receives a spa treatment with this soap before delivery!
Self-watering hydrospikes
Speaking of watering, self-watering tools are a fantastic way to water while on vacation. They are designed to slowly release water into the plant’s soil and can last up to two weeks! They work so well that some people prefer to use them as their regular watering method, even when not vacationing.
Natural Foliar Feed
We love natural foliar feeds so much that we decided to make the finest one on the market. A concentrated blend of nutrients, Potion Magique is designed to be diluted in water and misted directly onto your plant’s foliage. Plants not only absorb these nutrients through their leaves, but the blend also acts as a natural pest repellant. Best of all? Potion Magique smells heavenly, so it’s a joy to apply for you and your plant.
Moisture meter with pF indicator
Watering your plants can be tough. In fact, overwatering accounts for the majority of plant care fails. Traditional moisture meters can help, but they can be hard to read and a pretty big eyesore if you leave them in your plant. Cue in our favorite moisture meter Léon & George, the first of its kind to incorporate a pF indicator that gives a more accurate and concise picture of when it’s time to water. On top of that, its sleek and discrete design will not take away from the overall aesthetic of your plant.
Traditional moisture meter
Traditional moisture meters read the level of moisture in your plant’s soil. Depending on what type of plant you have, you will look for a different ideal reading.
Chopsticks
Sometimes the best plant care tools can be found lying around your house! Aerating your plant’s soil is a great way to ensure even watering, and chopsticks are our #1 favorite tool to do it. Recycle old chopsticks for the DIY ultimate soil aeration tool.
