Enjoying a Staycation

There are many occasions when it simply isn’t possible to travel to an exotic destination or some far-flung corner of the world. This may be because of a worldwide pandemic, as seen recently, or perhaps a simple lack of funds. However, this doesn’t mean to say that you can’t have any kind of vacation. On the contrary, an increasingly popular choice is to stay in your local area or somewhere else in your country, known as a staycation.

Planning Your Staycation

You’ve probably never really explored your surrounding area, so that is an excellent place to begin. You could base your plans on your hobbies. Many people are keen gardeners and also enjoy growing indoor plants. Invariably, they will have downloaded the plant care app for the best advice on what to do. For a great start to your staycation, you could make a list of all the local garden centers and nurseries in your immediate vicinity.

Enjoying Your Staycation

Having decided which garden centers to visit, you should make it a full day out. Ideally, you will purchase something to remind you of your staycation. If you spot a plant that would make a great souvenir, but you aren’t sure what it is, the Planta app can help you out. It has a helpful plant identifier, and all you need to do is take a photo, and it will tell you what you are looking at. Not only that, the app will offer useful advice on caring for your new plant.

Remembering Your Staycation

Once your staycation is over and the realities of returning to work have sunk in, you need something to cheer you up. Hopefully, you will have bought several new plants from your visits to local garden centers. Now the fun begins as you decide where to place them in your home. The Planta app has a helpful light meter included, which can measure the different lighting conditions in your rooms. You can then match plants that prefer shade to some of the darker areas.

Looking After Your Souvenirs

You will have to remember that you bought these plants as souvenirs of your staycation, so you really need to look after them to keep your happy memories alive. The Planta app will show you precisely the best way to care for your plants, and you can even set reminders for watering, cleaning, and re-potting your prized possessions. Some plants may need misting or extra fertilizer, and Planta will advise you when this is necessary.

Taking care of your new plants will bring back the thought of your staycation, and you will no doubt want to plan your next trip. The beauty of a staycation is that you only need to be away for a couple of days. Thus, nothing is likely to happen to your plants. However, even if a problem arises, Planta can advise you of the correct treatment. You can safely plan your next staycation with complete peace of mind!
