I used to have a lot of houseplants that were thriving when I lived near Chicago and then we moved and I gave them all to my daughter. That was probably the wrong thing to do because none of them survived.
Now I have been getting plants as gifts and they're doing great except for one that just didn't like my house at all.
I'm not good with plants. I know you water them & give them sunlight. I used to have a venus fly trap when I was a kid. It died. That seems to be my luck with a lot of plants.
