Watering: Check the water reservoir monthly (or bi-monthly for certain species). Refill only when it is completely empty and the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Use room-temperature tap water or distilled water if your tap water is softened or hard.

Lighting: Place your plant in light suitable for its species. Refer to the Care Card or the Plant Care Library for specific light requirements.

Environment: Avoid placing plants near heat or cooling sources like vents or radiators. Let your plant adjust to its location and avoid frequent moves to prevent stress.

Trim damaged, yellow, or brown leaves with clean scissors to encourage new growth.

Ensure proper watering by allowing the soil to dry between fillings and refilling the reservoir only when empty.

Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Check the reservoir and refill only when the top two inches of soil feel dry.

Remove visible fungus and sprinkle cinnamon on the soil to inhibit fungal growth.

Ensure the water reservoir is not overfilled. Remove excess water if necessary and place the plant in a well-ventilated spot with bright, indirect sunlight.

Increase airflow to the roots by poking holes in the soil with a straw or similar object.

Water Quality: Use filtered or distilled water to avoid salt and mineral buildup, which can harm plants over time.

Humidity: Increase humidity with pebble trays or a plant humidifier, especially for species sensitive to dry air.

Light Adjustments: In low-light conditions, move plants to brighter indirect light or use a grow light. Allow more time between waterings in such environments.

Fertilization: Use a liquid fertilizer formulated for houseplants. Dilute it to 1/4 strength before adding it to the reservoir.

Repotting: If roots are pushing through the soil or water depletes rapidly, consider repotting your plant. Follow the Guide to Repotting.
