1- Before buying the plants, you should know about them properly. Don’t try new experimental things just because you are bored at your home in the quarantine.
2- We have always been taught that water is the key for plants to live. But that doesn’t mean we have to water them every now and then. Don’t overwater them as it damages their growth.
3- Also remember if you don't water them and use fertilizers for a longer period, it will kill them. So, maintain a proper routine.
4- Place them in the ideal position for them to receive the right amount of sunlight.
5- Make sure you are conscious about the drainage system of you pots of the plants. As the water you are providing them needs to get drained out properly, otherwise, it will make the roots rot. So, if you have bought a new fancy ceramic pot, check its drainage system.
