67、e help. A good way to help renew tired houseplants is by giving them a plant “haircut.” This helps with shaping, removing dead matter, and keeping the plants from drooping. This is also a way to start new plants. You can take the cuttings and grow new plants.A houseplants diet is important. So is th
68、e timing of when you give them nutrients for growth. Fertilize in late winter as days get longer and plants need fertilizer to put on growth during spring. And do not forget to dust. If they are covered with dust, the process of their gaining energy would be slowed. Watering plants too much is a leading cause of losing houseplants. Plants lose oxygen when they are over watered. Check to see if your plants roots are overgrown in the bottom of the pot. That means you should re-pot the plant in a new, larger pot. But be sure the pots have holes cut in the bottoms so that extra water can get out.
