Have you noticed how one person will say a particular houseplant is easy to care for and a second will call it tempermental or difficult? And they are speaking about the same plant!
Truly the large majority of houseplants fit into the easy care category if they are given the proper care and room conditions.
Your house plant needs the proper amount of light. If you provide it with too little light it will produce leggy or no growth and smaller leaves. Many houseplants, like croton or golden pothos will lose their color or variegation if there is not enough light.
Your houseplant needs the proper amount of water. Be sure to check your houseplant often enough that you can give it water when it needs it- not necesarily every time you check. I check mine 3 times per week in spring and summer and twice a week in fall and winter giving each plant water as needed.
Your houseplant needs the proper temperature range. Most houseplants like temperatures lower at night, just as it was in their original environment outdoors.
Houseplants almost invariably dislike drafts whether hot (heating vents) or cold ( air conditioners in summer or outside doors in winter).Some plants, like poinsettia, will immediately show you their displeasure by suddenly dropping leaves.
Be sure to use the proper soil type for your houseplant and only use grow pots with holes in the bottom for proper drainage.
If you provide a houseplant with the conditions it needs it will be easy care.
If you try to grow a houseplant in conditions it doesn’t like, you are setting yourself up for failure.
To get an easy care houseplant, check out the conditions where you want the plant to be displayed. Then buy a plant that will thrive in those conditions.
