Do not over water and on occasion give them a fertilizer than you put in water such as Schultz's.
There are several reasons plants struggle. Here are a few tips I can recommend ... make sure you aren't over or under watering. The soil should feel damp but not wet or dry. I usually only water once a week. The soil may need some nourishment. By some plant food to mix in your water as plants will drain their soil of it's nutrients and need it to be replenished. Make sure the plants have room to grow. Sometimes if they have been in a pot, their roots have become compacted and they need to be transplanted into a bigger pot with fresh soil to thrive. Hope this helps.
Water when dry, I add plant food every 2nd time I water but depends on what kinds of plants you have.
what plants are you referring to?How are you maintaining them?Have you re-potted in fresh soil, fertilized?No one can second guess?You will need to be more specific for a correct solution
When you fertilize ,how and what is the process you are using?Before watering do you check the soil first?
