<p>[QUOTE="Deb D., post: 12496282, member: 91560"]I believe the biggest problem people have with houseplants is - too much attention. They think they are doing the plant a service by watering every day. The quickest way to kill a plant is over-watering. <i>Most</i> plants can recover from a wilted state. My rule of <b>thumb</b> - stick your<b> finger</b> in the soil. If it even feels even slightly moist - don't water! Of course there are exceptions like the arrowleaf which likes a lot of water. On the other hand, cacti and succulents can go weeks without water. Trial and experience taught me. You can always look up how to care for your individual plants online.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
