Indoor plants are natural humidifiers; they improve well-being by enhancing air quality, reducing stress, and boosting mood, productivity, and focus. They just instantly turn a dull space into lively corners. However, taking care of them can be a daunting task. If your plants turn yellow or brown often, then you might be doing something wrong.

Here are 5 ways you could revive your houseplants and stop them from dying:

Inspect closely

Take a closer look at the plant before declaring it dead. If you still can see green and flexible stems, this means there's still scope for revival. If the plant's leaves are yellow with a soggy stem, it shows excess watering. For brown leaves, issues could be underwatering or low humidity.

After the close inspection, if you know there's a chance of revival, simply prune dead leaves and stems. This will help the plant focus on healthy growth.

Repot your plant

If your plant has overgrown, then it's time to repot. It helps to give a fresh life to your plants and the necessary space for new growth.

Provide appropriate atmosphere

Apart from taking care of the light and water, it is equally important to provide the right atmosphere for growth. If the plant thrives in humidity, you should keep it closer to other plants or a humidifier.
