And later you will need vertiliser for your plants, didn't see that anywhere for sale in sypermarkets.
So I asked our gardener and he brought some white powder in a jar, that I use now for half a year ( uhhh, I mean: my plants do ) and with good results.
No idea where he got that from, but you will need to ask around.
Your plants need vertiliser weekly after a month that they have new soil.
I love to experiment with seeds and plants and I am the proud owner of 2 avocado trees ( mini size) now!
What I have learned so far from having indoor plants in Cairo is:
they don't like the airco, so place them far away from the airco-unit.
they don't like to have to little light ( our windows are reflecting the sunlight, so it is too dark inside for plants) So what I do is, I give my plants a day outside every friday.
I can also wash off all the dust, that is not good for them either.
And the water has too much chloor, so using boiled water, or old water helps a lot too.
And speak to them about a bright future they love to hear good news !
Good luck!
