I honestly think I have a black thumb. My houseplants always seem to die!! Aside from watering them often I have no idea what else to do. Any suggestions? Are there any products out there that can help me? lol

Do you check to see if they need watering before you water them? I always poke my finger in the soil and see what it feels like. If it feels dry then I give it a little drink. After you water you should wait 10 min and dump out any excess water so that your plant is not sitting in water.

Also in addition to the finger test I'll feel the weight of the pot, if it's light I'll water it, too heavy, I'll leave it for a bit.
Your problem could also be a myriad of things like too hot or too cold, too much light, too little light, etc.
