Houseplant Maintenance
There are two main reasons why people have problems with house plants. Light and water. Too much or too little of each can cause problems. Many houseplants are native to the tropics and thrive in bright light. When there is not enough light they tend to decline. Many plants are used to drenching rains and periods of drought. If you keep those type of plants constantly moist, their roots will eventually rot.
