The end of my plants turn brown, till I cut that part off. What am I doing watering to much or to little or ?

the house plants that I have with wide stems or thin. The ends turn brown (dead). Am I watering them to much or not enough? Or is it something else I am doing wrong? Inside plants or outside plants develope the same problem.

It depends on the type of plants you have. It could be too much water if they turn a yellowish color and it could be that they are not getting enough water if the plants droop. It could also be the amount of light the plants are receiving. If you are going to have them outdoors in warmer weather, give more water and they will become greener. This website has some good tips to determine the type of plant you have and how to care for it. http://www.thegardenhelper.com/houseplan...

Reply:Mine seemed to do that from too much sun and not enough water
Reply:Some times when a plant does that, it means they are in the sun when they are not suppose to be thats why they are called house plants. I had the same problem, just move them away from the windows. Good Luck
Reply:if your plants are inside in pots with saucers under them, you may be watering them properly but they may be drowning in their suacers/trays. if water sits in the bottom, the soil in the bottom of the pot turns to sludge and the roots may be getting rotten.

Fix this by putting some little stands in the saucer/tray (i use a bit of cork chopped in thirds) to elevate the pot so when the tray is full, the pot is out of the water. Also when you pot plants you should fill the bottom of the pot with gravel/little stones to keep that area nice and dry.
