HELP: What Does My House Plant Want?

Meet Margie. She's a pretty little house plant I've had for nearly a year and when she's happy, you can really tell. However, these days more than ever, her happy days seems to be pretty rare. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Margie is difficult.

Just last week, some of Margie's lower leaves turned yellow overnight and shriveled up. I read online about what could be causing her unhappiness, but the results ranged from overwatering to underwatering and frankly, were very confusing. I've tried giving her more water. I've tried giving her less. I've even tried putting her in a sunnier location, but it wasn't super warm, so she liked that even less. The only time she has really thrived was last summer when I set her outside on my balcony to soak up the sun, but unfortunately, it's still a little too chilly for that here on the SouthCoast.

Last night, I noticed another one of her leaves turning yellow and I'm getting desperate.

Welcome to the Jungle: Meet Kari's House Plants

I may not have any kids or even any pets, so my plants are my babies. I'm certainly learning as I go, and as you'll see, some of them struggle from time to time, but with my boyfriend's blessing, I'm slowly turning our apartment into a green oasis. Keep in mind that I only name the real guys and gals that you're about to meet, but that I also have a handful of fake plants scattered around our apartment to liven up the place.
