What percentage of live indoor plants?

I'm not just talking about seeding, it dies. I'm talking about the death of indoor plants, after a few weeks or days.

100% have the potential to live for at least a few months. If you do not because something in the way they were stored was not correct. And do not tell me you're the one who is to blame, which may be where to buy plants. Plants need adequate water, light and nutrients and the right temperature and humidity to prosper. Some are also more tolerant to adverse conditions than others. If you do a search in each case attention must be purchased, and see that you get of the plants are healthy and free of pests, it is a good first step. But if you (or where you buy your plants) are neglecting their care or treatment of any plant of the same, regardless of the conditions they need for growth, not all living plants. Some conditions to verify – Irrigation – How does the water? Do you let plants sit in water? Have enough water? What is the water temperature (ambient temperature is above the cold water tap)? Do plants need distilled or purified water (carnivorous plants do not fare well if the water has many minerals, such as tap water)? Soil – plant combination right to grow? Some soils may need sand for good drainage, others may need to bark simulate the growth of the bark of a tree, others may need a lot of lawn to maintain soil acidity. LIGHT – Are you growing plants on the sill of a window or outdoors where they receive natural light? Or under artificial light? If you are using artificial lights, which are incandescent (bad choice) or fluorescent (best)? If fluorescent tubes are (best) cool white (OK) or hot kitchen and bathroom (bad choice)? How long the lights on? At least 8 hours per day is needed, 10-14 is better, but the lights should not be in 24 hours. TEMPERATURE – plants warm enough? Are they in a window that is cooler than the surrounding air, or are close to a heat / AC vent and get a project? Are there specific symptoms that you see When the plants die? Small insects in the soil or the plant itself? All this may help determine why the plants die prematurely.
