Why does plant care advice for beginners feel so contradictory?

I’ve been getting more into houseplants recently and noticed something frustrating:

Most plant care advice for beginners feels either overly complicated or completely inconsistent 😅

One source says to water weekly, another says “never water on schedule”

Also, I tried to use plant apps and honestly, a lot of plant apps feel stressful instead of helpful.

I’m curious about others experiences:

  • What confused you most when you started?
  • What was the hardest part of keeping plants alive?
  • Did you ever kill a plant because of bad/conflicting advice?

Would genuinely love to hear people’s experiences 🌱
