    Clean your houseplants reguarly, remove dead or dying leaves. If your plant is over-infested with insects trash it. Make sure to wrap it in plastic and dump inside your garbage bin.

    Most houseplants love indirect sunlight, not direct sunlight. Many houseplants will do great underneath a skylight or a window that does NOT have direct sunlight.
    Fertilize! Yes do this at least once per month during spring, summer and fall. We recommend Miracle-Gro All Purpose Plant Food It's what we use on our nursery houseplants.
