Do Just One Thing
If you're having a hard time keeping houseplants alive, or you're going on vacation and would like them to thrive while you’re away, give your thirsty houseplant a good drink of water, then place a layer of newspaper on top of the soil and water until the newspaper is completely saturated. This helps seal the moisture in the soil so the roots stay moist, and over time, the newspaper will break down into beneficial mulch. If you have arid-loving plants like succulents and cacti, simply remove buds and flowers and place them in a sunny spot. These plants can go months without water if you pinch their flowers off.
