Description
Do you think this fear of killing plants deters people from actually taking to gardening in even a small way? What's the best way to get rid of these fears? Smaller plants should be transplanted about once every two years, and bigger ones every four years. Always choose a pot that is bigger than the current one, so that your plant has room to grow new roots.
And if you really just can't get it right.... have you thought about becoming a Marimo parent? It's literally impossible to over-water them!)

If you're cold then so is your houseplant. Always keep them in places that are at least the minimum temperature that they'll accept.

It likes indirect light and infrequent waterings — a good soak once every two weeks is the perfect amount for these gorgeous succulents.
The best fix of course though is to get passionate about houseplants. This will help you learn and understand their needs better.Pilea depressa, also known as baby tears, resembles a leafy moss with cascading small, round leaves and is a popular trailing houseplant, as it’s easy to look after. Pilea are good plants to use in a terrarium or to place on a high shelf, where you can enjoy their cascading nature. Overwatering succulents will make the leaves swell, causing oedema and leaf-drop. Because a closed terrarium can get very moist, succulents are not suited to being grown in these. Conversely, if you under-water the plants, they will become misshapen and scarred.
Follow the watering instructions for your plant. If the problem persists, it could be a soil issue — add sand to the soil to promote better drainage. Tip #6: Arrange a Plant-Sitter Don’t let your plants fend for themselves while you are away. (Photo: CC0 Public Domain / Pixabay – KaboomPics) Spider plants thrive in lots of indirect light, between 13 and 26ºC (55 and 80ºF), and enjoy high humidity – making bathrooms and sunny windows good spots for them. Typically, losing leaves or leaves turning yellow is a sign of poor drainage, too little light or not enough water. Similarly, leaves turning a pale colour probably means that your houseplant needs to be moved to a brighter spot. Yellow leaves can also mean you have a problem with a house plant pest.Keep your plants clean, Dust and debris can accumulate on your plant's leaves, hindering their ability to photosynthesize and grow. Regularly dust and wipe down your plants with a damp cloth to keep them clean and healthy. Additionally, make sure to prune any dead or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth. Like the very best kinds of houseplants, all three have thrived on a regime of benign neglect, a minimal intervention approach that asks only that they be watered occasionally (less in winter, more in summer) and be given an occasional nourishing liquid feed during the growing season. In return for so little, they give me a sharp jolt of joy and pleasure each and every time I look at them, transforming my living space in a way that’s quite impossible to quantify. Using the best houseplant compost for your type of plant will ensure that it gets the nutrients and proper drainage it requires to thrive.
