Keep your houseplants away from windows because they are likely to be too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer.
To keep your plants thriving, make sure to water them thoroughly. Let the water run out of the bottom of the pot and into a saucer. Empty the saucer after no more than 10 minutes. This will flush the soil of harmful salts that can accumulate in the saucer.
Always use distilled water when watering plants.
