1. If you enjoy having plants inside your home, avoid placing them next to a hot working fireplace, close to an open vent for heating and air conditioning or even near a door that leads you outside. This can cause the plants to look distressed showing saggy ugly yellow leaves or brown dried flowers. When winter sets in, remember that the heat in homes can be very harmful and hard on plants. The humidity is what they need to survive in the hot and cold air in your home. Set the temperature in your home to a pleasant and constant temperature.
2. All plants must receive excellent light. Plants with pronounced colored leaves and the ones that produce flowers will grow best if placed in a location where they can enjoy a lot of sunlight. Many other plants could care less for light and prefer indirect light in order to grow well. Learn about the type of plants you want in your home. Find the ones that best grow for the allocated area and make sure that you provide the appropriate light for their needs. You can supplement the natural light with artificial light.
3. Most houseplants prefer humidity or moisture for survival. To increase the indoor humidity for your plants, you can think of placing them close to each other on a wet surface of gravel, away from draft and reduce the room temperature. Low humidity can cause the plants' leaves to turn yellow.
4. Houseplants generally don't like when the soil is too dry. They need water only if the top of the soil is dry. You can check the condition of the soil by looking at it or by sticking your finger into the soil. Pour water into the container until it runs out of the bottom of the pot. Make sure you empty the drip saucer. Indoor plants are not to be treated like outdoor plants by allowing the soil to be moist for a long period of time. This can cause the roots to rot. Water the plants as needed. Don't forget that humidity is very essential for their growth and for their survival.
5. Some plants are delicate and you need to be careful not to over fertilize them. You can apply fertilizer once a month or add a small quantity of fertilizer whenever watering especially during growing season. You also have the choice of giving your plants a slow release fertilizer. This can be done at least once a year. Your plants need essential food and nutrients to survive and to look striking. Give the appropriate fertilizer in the right amount to keep the plant looking great.
6. Unfortunately, your houseplants are not protected from common insects or diseases. You can get rid of the insects with low toxic insecticides or soapy water.

The best humid place to garden is in your home. You can get favorable results growing interior plants under acceptable conditions regardless of the season. Remember to pamper your indoor plants if you want to enjoy them for years to come. You may from time to time clean the leaves up to give them a fresher look. It doesn't hurt to give your plants the care and attention they need to help them grow and thrive in your home.
