Indoor plants can transform your living space, but they require proper care to thrive. Here are 10 essential tips:

1. **Choose the Right Location**: Most indoor plants prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight or complete darkness.

2. **Water Properly**: Overwatering is the most common mistake. Check soil moisture before watering. Most plants prefer to dry out slightly between waterings.

3. **Provide Proper Drainage**: Ensure pots have drainage holes to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

4. **Maintain Humidity**: Many indoor plants thrive in humid conditions. Mist leaves or use a humidity tray.

5. **Fertilize Regularly**: Feed your plants during growing season (spring and summer) with balanced fertilizer.

6. **Clean Leaves**: Dust can block sunlight. Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth.

7. **Prune Regularly**: Remove dead or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth.

8. **Repot When Needed**: If roots are growing out of drainage holes, it's time to repot.

9. **Monitor for Pests**: Check regularly for signs of pests and treat immediately.

10. **Learn Plant-Specific Needs**: Each plant has unique requirements. Research your specific plants.
