How do you take care of a first love plant?
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out before watering again. Sunlight: Place the plant in a spot that receives bright, indirect sunlight for at least 4-6 hours a day. The best time to water plants is in the morning or evening. More importantly, watering at these times actually helps the plant retain water. If you water in the afternoon, especially during summer, the heat and sun are at their peak and the plant’s water will evaporate instead of absorbing into the soil and roots.
