Instruction: Give me a list of the five best ways to take care of your houseplants.

Response: 1. Get on a watering schedule so you can make sure you are not over-watering or under-watering the plants. 
2. Choose plants that will do well in the lighting conditions that you have available in your home. Place plants that like bright, direct light in front of windows, and choose plants that require less light for the darker areas of your home. 
3. Consider getting a humidifier if you are going to decorate your home with tropical plants. Certain tropical plants tend like to a more humid environment. 
4. If you don't have sufficiently bright natural light, consider getting grow lights to help your plants thrive. 
5. Periodically fertilize your plants to make sure they have all of the nutrients that they need to continue growing.
