I can't grow ivy inside here for the same reason, just shrivels up and dies.
Red? If you are an overwaterer you could try a coleus. I can bring you a clipping if you like.
I think that's the key.They don't like drafts and need a humid atmosphere, so keep on trays of moist pellets or moss.
So you're saying I need a catch pan under it then?Leslie said:Probably the lily would be happier if you let it mostly dry out, watered it well, then left it alone till it mostly dried out again.
Lilies are bulbs, and the bulbs can rot if they're sitting in wet all the time, which is what happens when you water it every couple days. That makes it so you're giving it not enough water to keep it alive yet at the same time making it sit in water constantly.
