THE threat for your houseplants is imminent. Tips for watering, adjusting their exposure to light or protecting them against pests, Youtuber Marion Botanical has a host of ideas to help our green friends get through this period. Tested and approved.
"If I can do it, you can do it too." Marion Botanical is a French Youtuber who specializes in plants. Her apartment is home to around a hundred of them! She decided to turn her passion for her "little forest" into a YouTube channel where she shares advice for how to care for them and she's built up a community of fans. Is her success down to her pedagogical approach? At least in part. Because this plant lover is also a teacher by day. She's shared her best tips for taking care of plants (and keeping them alive), even during a long absence.
Beforehand: prepare yourself according to how long you're away
Everything depends on the length of the absence. It may seem obvious but sometimes plant lovers just can't resist buying a plant the day before but don't. And if you are going away for a month or more, call a friend! You should plan for at least one or two visits per week. If you're not going to be away more than 15 days, your plants can survive. Note that in case of a heat wave, you must absolutely drop them off at someone's house.
