I have 2 ferns, 2 Philodendrons, and 2 ivy plants in my home. The only plants that are surviving are the 2 pots of Ivy. I can't seem to get the Philodendrons or the Ferns to stay healthy. I have moved them from direct sunlight to filtered. I pretty much have moved them all over my house. Any suggestions?

Hello Mom:

Without looking at the plants, the problem most people have with ferns is overwatering. Don't let the soil dry out, but let it get close.

Hi there,

This may sound crazy but it works. Firstly try talking, singing sometimes and also music (radio/Cd) to them. They really like that. All they need is love. Besides water & sunlight.

Hope it works for you. Good luck.

I would have to agree with excon, the most common issues with indoor plants is overwatering. Also, are you giving the plants any kind of plant food? It may help to give them a water soluble plant food once every two weeks
