If you've ever had an indoor
plant that's quickly withered(枯萎),
you might believe that you don't have
a green thumb or you're not cut out for growing
plants. 1. The truth is that anyone can
be a good plant owner. Below, we'll walk you
through something you need to know to care for
your indoor plants.
Keep potting soil moist(湿润), but not
wet. If your soil is either too dry or
overwatered, it can damage the plant's roots.
2. What you should do is follow
guidelines on how often to water it by doing
research on its specific type.
Select an area in your house that gets
sufficient sunlight. Plants require sunlight in
order to undergo photosynthesis(光合作用).
3. Instead, give them plenty of
indirect light by putting them in a well-lit room.
Besides, don't move your plants around a lot as
plants adapt themselves to their surroundings
fairly slowly.
4. There are a variety of online
materials you can find that will detail how you
should care for the specific type of houseplant
you own, including recommended humidity
levels, sunlight exposure guidelines and
watering guides. Most plants sold in mixed
species baskets or pots need to be separated.
They are grouped for appearance and not the
requirements of the species.
Choose a plant that's easy to care for.
Certain tropical(热带的) plants require specific
environments in order to survive, while other
plants are easy to care for. For example,
Chinese evergreen or painted drop tongue
(Aglaonema) is commonly seen in public
displays. 5. This kind of plant drops
its lower leaves over time but can easily be
rooted in water.
A. It is an easy low light plant.
B. Pay attention to their surroundings.
C. Sunshine is essential for their growth.
D. We're here to tell you that's not the case!
E. Avoid putting the plants in direct sunlight.
F. Learn your plants' classification at length.
G. This will prevent the plant from growing.

【分析】本题为说明文类七选五题型，需结合上下文语境、逻辑关系（如转折、指代、观点衔接等）匹配选项。先通读全文把握室内植物养护的核心主旨，再逐空分析前后句内容，找到衔接最紧密的选项。
【解析】1. 空前提到人们认为自己不适合种植物，空后指出任何人都能养好植物，D项“我们来告诉你不是这样的”承接上文错误观点，引出下文正确结论，故选D。2. 空前提到土壤过干或过湿会损伤植物根系，G项“这会阻止植物生长”指代前文不当浇水的后果，衔接前后内容，故选G。3. 空前提到植物需要阳光进行光合作用，空后强调要给间接光而非直射光，E项“避免把植物放在直射阳光下”与后文形成转折，符合养护建议的逻辑，故选E。4. 空后提到查找植物养护的具体信息（如湿度、光照等），F项“详细了解你的植物分类”对应后文对植物类型的介绍，衔接自然，故选F。5. 空前提到选易养护的植物，举了Aglaonema的例子，A项“它是一种容易在低光下生长的植物”符合该植物易养护的特点，故选A。
