How should I care for my house plant?

Every plant kind has its own particular requirements, however there are some general rules you can follow. Most house plants prefer bright, indirect light (such as on an east-facing windowsill). South and west-facing windows will also work, but keep the plant further from the window to avoid the leaves getting burnt.

But remember that overwatering is just as deadly to plants as underwatering. Most plants like to let the top layer of soil dry up before watering again. Tropical plants like ferns and calatheas, however, will need more moisture and humidity, whilst arid plants like yuccas and ZZ plants like to dry out totally. You could also want to fertilise your plant occasionally to help boost development.
