i bought 3 plants back into my room today and im going to try keep them alive in here, for whatever reason they seem to keep dying in my room, could this have anything to do with airflow?

How close is it to a window? Is it near a heater or ac?

#### sophie replied on 2025-12-21

sometimes i sit my plants on the windowsill and below it there is a radiator

#### Madison replied on 2025-12-21

it’s possible the radiator is putting off too much heat for those plants

How much light does your room receive?

#### sophie replied on 2025-12-21

i’ve got a huge window and it gets a lot of direct sunlight on a morning, more indirect in the afternoon

#### Whit\_Y replied on 2025-12-21

That lighting sounds ideal! Your plant in the picture looks pretty healthy, can you give more info about what decline issues you’re seeing?

That is a ficus benjamina if you want to look up care needs. It sounds like you have good light, so it's probably getting roasted by a combination of the radiator and too-direct light. Protect it from extreme temperatures and it should be good
