    My house plants look awful!
    I have a lot o:Df just basic house plants, some vines, a wondering jew, and an elephant ear. I try to take care of them moving them into the sunny areas of the house and keep them watered, but none of them are doing very well any advice would be great.

    How long has it been since you have replanted them in new soil? Or larger pots?

    Hi! lcraig22, welcome to AMHD, :)

    You don't specify your location, but have you turned your heat on for the seasonal change?
    The problem is in the fall, you probably put the heat on in the house and outside the sun is lower in the sky so it comes through the windows at different levels.

    The sun may now be shining on plants that don’t care for this extra light/heat. Plants have to adjust to all of this.

    In addition, some plants are going into dormancy. So try to find a sunny spot, but stop moving them around so much. :)

    Adjust, and slow down on the watering.

    As JD has suggested, perhaps some need new pots or soil? You need to find out the growing requirements and growth habit of each of your plants and rearrange things accordingly.
