For those who want houseplants but have a hard time watering

There’s this soil made by miracle gro called expand and gro you can probably get it anywhere but I got mine cheap off Amazon. Anyway it really retains the moisture and you don’t have to water all the time. My plants are all doing really good so far. Well I haven’t killed them, they look nice and healthy. They go about ten days before they need water, each one varies, but about.

That might be good for me. I only remember to water my plants once a month LOL. Without a time schedule, I’m brain dead

My mom handles all the plants inside and outside of the house. She has a lot of them. So it’s not on my radar but maybe I’ll bring it up with her, save her some hassles. Thanks for the suggestion.

This wouldn’t work for me, I killed an aloe vera plant by over watering.

I’ve tried house plants, but it’s overwhelming, I had a bromiliad and it flowered, was lucky for that. But they just die on me, I had a fern and it got aphids and I had a few palms and the leaves went yellow etc not my strength, house plants

I just get tonnes of fake plants, big small, all shapes and sizes. It’s not bad!

IKEA ones look real enough!
