Some plants are easygoing types, but there are certainly some plants that can be a bit stubborn.

Light for Plants
You have sun and shade lovers and so do plants! How much light your plant needs depends on the species. For example, some plants can greatly enjoy (in)direct sunlight, but others will be happier with a little shade. Keep this in mind when you are looking for the perfect spot in your home.
Water for Plants
How much water your houseplant needs differs per species. However, there are a number of factors that you can take into account. Plants need more water under some circumstances, such as with lower humidity (heating/air conditioning), a lot of sunlight, a higher temperature and during the flowering period. In winter it is also a lot colder, so plants need less water.
Nutrition for Plants
In addition to light and water, your houseplants can also use some extra love once in a while. Occasionally remove all yellow leaves and remove the dry flowers. This makes your plant look prettier and they can put their energy into the living leaves. Your plant will also be very happy with a plant sprayer! Spray the plant regularly to improve humidity, keep the leaves clean and reduce the risk of pests. Finally, we recommend that you give the plant some plant nutrition once every 1 to 2 weeks during the growth period.

As cute as the little plants are, little ones grow up. With the right care you can grow your little one into a real houseplant. Proper care is of course very important to get these baby plants into adult plants.
Taking care of your baby plant
These little plants need a little more love and attention than a mature plant. The baby plants are still small, sensitive and fragile. As with all plants, the location and nutrition is very important for these little ones. Although it differs per plant, there are also similarities in terms of care and attention that they require. Place your plants in indirect sunlight and avoid full sun. The delicate leaves cannot handle the strong sun well. Also keep the soil slightly moist, so that your little one does not dry out.
Grow and repot
Ultimately, it is of course the intention that your small baby plant grows into an adult plant. Raising your baby plant takes some time. Depending on the plant and care, your plant will have grown into a young adult plant after about 2 years. The plants can get a real growth spurt, so you have to repot them more often, especially in the beginning. The roots need space to grow and the soil in which they stand also needs to be refreshed every now and then. Therefore, repot the plant every 3 to 4 months to a larger pot: this is how you stimulate the growth process!
