How Not to Kill Your Houseplants
Easy, Real-Life Tips from Enchanted Blossoms, Holmdel NJ
Whether you're a seasoned plant parent or just brought home your first pothos, we’re here to help you keep your green friends alive and thriving. At Enchanted Blossoms, we’ve seen it all—from over-loved succulents to sunburned orchids—and we’re here to tell you: you don’t need a green thumb to keep your plants happy.
Top 5 Ways People Accidentally Kill Their Plants
...And What To Do Instead!
1. Too Much Water, Not Enough Drainage
Problem: Roots rot when soaked too long.
Fix:
Water only when needed (not on a schedule)
Use pots with drainage holes
Empty excess water from saucers
When in doubt, wait another day
2. Wrong Light = Slow Death
Problem: You love the plant… but your space might not.
Fix:
Snake plants, ZZ plants = low light champs
Succulents & cacti = bright, direct sunlight
Peace lilies, pothos, philodendron = bright indirect light
Tip: If the leaves are stretching or fading, they’re begging for light.
3. Using the Wrong Pot
Problem: Cute pot, but no drainage = trouble.
Fix:
Choose breathable materials like terracotta or ceramic with holes
If using a decorative pot, keep the plant in its plastic grow pot inside
Repot when roots overflow or growth stalls
4. Feeding Too Much… or Not at All
Problem: Plants need food too!
Fix:
Use a mild liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring/summer
Don’t fertilize in winter (plants rest then)
5 Ignoring the Leaves
Problem: Plants talk—with their leaves!
Fix:
Yellow leaves = overwatering
Crispy tips = low humidity or underwatering
Sticky or spotted leaves = pests! Time to investigate
