5 reasons your houseplants keep dying (and the easy fixes)
I've helped hundreds of beginners go from plant killers to plant parents. Here are the 5 mistakes I see over and over:
1. Overwatering — The #1 killer. Most houseplants want their soil to dry out between waterings. Stick your finger an inch into the soil — if it's still moist, wait.
2. Wrong light — That "low light" label on your pothos doesn't mean "no light." Every plant needs some. Move struggling plants closer to a window and watch them bounce back.
3. No drainage — Those cute pots with no drainage holes? They're plant coffins. Always use pots with holes, or put a nursery pot inside the decorative one.
4. Repotting too soon — New plant parents love to immediately repot. Your plant is already stressed from the store. Give it 2-3 weeks to adjust first.
5. Ignoring humidity — Most tropical houseplants want 40-60% humidity. If your air is dry, group plants together or get a cheap humidifier.
