They have sentimental value to me and I don't want anything to happen to them. I've never had too much luck with plants.
Thanks for your help!  |
They are houseplants.
Don't overwater, pick the flower stems off once they are done blooming, pick off the brown leaves immediately, fertilize with a 20-20-20 type house plant fertilizer and don't let the plant sit in standing water.
Repot the plant every year or two in a rich soil consisting of equal parts of loam, peat moss, and sand (standard houseplant potting SOIL.)
