I suggest you check where you bought them. Usually a plant will come with growing tips. Most often, a plant will only need to be watered about once a week. Put them in pot that have drainage (so excess water runs out the bottom.) Use good potting soil. I like Miracle Grow Potting Soil. Put your plants in a spot where they will get some good daylight. Water thoroughly, but don't over-water. When the soil becomes dry, it's time to give it another drink. If the leaves start turning yellow, the plant has too much water. If it's turning brown, not enough. Fertilize about every other month. There are some little fertilizer spikes you can just push into the soil. <br><b>References : </b><br> Different plants have different watering (and light) needs.
