#1.  Make sure your house plants are near a window with light access.

#2.  Water your house plants appropriately, but not too much; Overwatering can and will result in root rot for your plants. A good way to know if your plants need water or if they don't is by feeling the soil, dry soil means that the plant needs water.

#3.  A good way to know if your plant needs something is to observe the appearance or feel of the leaves. If the leaves are wilted to any extent or for succulents feel less solid than usual, you should see what they need (most likely water) and give it to them.
