Home quality levers

In a small space, quality comes from consistency: steady light, steady moisture rhythm, enough air.

Best levers

Light

Enough even light (window or LED). Stretchy growth = too little light. Keep LED distance moderate.

Watering consistency

Don’t swing wet to bone-dry. Use My plots reminders; a moisture sensor helps if calibrated.

Airflow

A small fan or ventilation cuts mould risk and strengthens stems.

Nutrients

Mild and regular beats random “overdose”. Watch leaf colour; don’t guess.

Pests early

Check under leaves weekly. Early notice saves the harvest — don’t wait for an outbreak.
