I've recently started getting into houseplants, but I'm struggling to keep them healthy. After experiencing some near misses with wilting and overwatering, I'm eager to learn what practices work best for plant care. How do you all manage things like watering schedules, sunlight exposure, and those other little tips that help make indoor plants thrive?

I recommend checking out Pinterest for specific care tips on each type of plant you have. It’s a great resource for learning the specifics and keeping them alive!
One tip is to forget about watering on a strict schedule! Instead, check how heavy your pot is. Always use pots with holes for drainage. And remember that lighting is crucial; indoor light is often way less than outside, so adjust accordingly!
I totally get where you're coming from! The best thing is to use a water measure and watch how your plants react. For sunlight, a southeast-facing window really works wonders for me. Don’t forget to check how dry your home gets, especially during winter—it can really affect your plants.
I agree about the lighting! It can really make or break your plant's happiness. You might want to try a grow light if your spots are too dim.
