Asparagus fern ---

Do not water too much, and never let water accumulate, otherwise the roots rot easily and leaves drop. Generally, mist once or twice a day in summer, and mist once every 3-4 days in winter.

Clivia ---

Water once every half month, do not water thoroughly; right after watering, place it on a balcony with weak sunlight for a few days, otherwise the roots stay too wet and rot easily; do not expose it to strong sun.

Anthurium ---

Water about once every 12 days, water thoroughly, give it some sun.

Bromeliad ---

Water about once every 12 days, water thoroughly, give it little sun.

Pothos ---

Likes moisture; water once every 3-4 days, water thoroughly, give it little sun; just place it somewhere with light.

Peace lily tree (Machilus) ---

Likes moisture; water once a week, water thoroughly, give it plenty of sun.

Ficus ---

Likes moisture; water once a week, water thoroughly, give it plenty of sun.

Camellia ---

Likes moisture; water once every 3-4 days, water thoroughly, give it some sun.

Golden diamond (Philodendron) ---

Likes moisture; water once a week, water thoroughly, give it some sun.

Azalea ---

Water once a week, water thoroughly; it must not be in direct sunlight; place it somewhere with light.

Begonia ---

Water once a week, water thoroughly, give it a little sun; place it somewhere with light. Direct sunlight fades the flowers, which spoils their ornamental value.

Kalanchoe ---

Water once a week, water thoroughly, give it little sun; place it somewhere with light. Direct sunlight makes the flowers shrivel.

Snake plant ---

Water once every half month, do not water thoroughly; right after watering, place it on a balcony with weak sunlight for a few days; do not expose it to strong sun.

Elephant bush ---

Likes moisture; water once a week, water thoroughly, give it plenty of sun.

Money tree ---

Does not like moisture; spray a small amount of water about every 20 days, or pour water into the saucer; do not give it much sun, and if you water it thoroughly once, there is a risk it will die.

ZZ plant ---

Does not like moisture; spray a small amount of water once every half month, or pour a little water into the saucer; do not give it sun.

Spider plant ---

Likes moisture, but spider plants have strong drought resistance and will not dry out and die even if not watered for several days. Water less in winter; do not let the potting soil get too wet, or the leaves will turn yellow.

Ivy ---

Likes a warm, humid environment; keep the soil moist regularly, as insufficient water causes leaf drop. In dry air, mist the leaves frequently.

Aloe ---

Tolerates drought but not moisture; control watering. Water until water leaks from the bottom of the pot.

Lucky bamboo (Rohdea) ---

Rohdea rots easily at the roots and fears water accumulation most. You can water more in summer; in spring, autumn and winter do not water too frequently, just keep the potting soil slightly moist.

Cactus (ball cactus) ---

Tolerates dryness; do not overwater, and water thoroughly when you do. Generally water once every half month, and about once every 10 days when the air is especially dry.

Areca palm ---

Likes moisture; in summer water twice a day, and start controlling watering after late autumn.

Monstera ---

Likes moisture; watering should follow the principle of preferring wet over dry, but no water accumulation is also a principle. In spring and autumn water once every 2-3 days, in summer water every day, and in winter reduce watering

Alocasia (dumb cane) ---

Water more in summer, but there must be no water accumulation in the soil, otherwise the tubers rot; water less in winter. Do not let direct sunlight hit it.

Dracaena (Brazilian wood) ---

Dracaena needs little water; generally water about once every 10 days, and keep the potting soil half dry and half moist. When growing Dracaena, do not water too much, to prevent the trunk from rotting. In addition, when grown in the north, because the climate is dry, mist the leaves and the surrounding ground frequently to raise the ambient air humidity, which helps the Dracaena grow.

(The above applies to general situations; everyone should decide based on their own flowers' conditions~)
