Protect your floors!!

 Protect your floors! This can be from numerous “threats”, but what we are  talking about today is protecting your floors from damage caused from houseplants.  There is no doubt that houseplants are beautiful in your home, creating an atmosphere which is both peaceful for the mind and pleasing for the eyes, but overwatering can cause significant damage.  Whether the plants are over carpet, area rugs, or hardwood they need to have a saucer under them to catch the excess water.  Plant stands are great to raise the flower pots up to allow any small drips to dry.  Keep in mind water trapped in the
carpet and padding under a plant could lead to not only stained carpet, but stained hardwood as well.
