Baby plants vs. big houseplants
There is no doubt that raising a baby plant brings joy to every plant parent! But more than that, it also allows the plants to adapt to your home early on. Bringing bigger houseplants home can sometimes cause shock to them. Why? Because they grew up in a greenhouse with perfect conditions for them to grow. It takes time for them to get used to their new home. Meanwhile, miniature plants are still more adaptable. Growing up in your home, they will acclimate to your space and care more easily.
Miniature plants need different care
It needs to be noted that baby plants require different care than fully grown houseplants. Just like human babies, they are fragile and more sensitive to care mistakes than fully-developed houseplants. They do not need as much water in one go as their big counterparts. However, they will not easily survive drying out, because their root system is not as established yet. So, you should always make sure to water your baby plants little but frequently. If you are afraid of forgetting to water your miniature plants for a little too long, we can recommend this watering hack by plant expert Hilton Carter. This trick uses a cord, which you stick into your plants' pots as well as in a vase. Via capillary action, this will allow your plants' soil to always stay moist.
