All plants need food, water and sunlight to live, but different plants need different amounts of each. This is both important for houseplants or for the plants in your garden.
When a houseplant gets attacked by an insect pest, the problem can quickly spread to other plants. Preventing insects from entering your home is key to indoor insect control.
Check plants for disease or insects before you buy them. Then isolate them for a couple weeks, just to make sure everything is fine. Each time you water your plants, inspect both sides of the leaves for signs of pests or disease. If you suspect anything, isolate the plant from your other plants until you have eliminated the problem.
It's actually not that difficult to keep your plants happy and healthy, but you do need to pay attention to their basic needs, and take care of any pest problems right away.
