Plants

House plants can cause a lot of damage if they are not taken care of correctly. If you are watering plants inside the home and they are not drained in the sink or have something absorbent underneath them, they can easily damage the floor or drywall surrounding it. 

Be careful when watering plants that you do not over water them. This is not only for the safety of the plant but also the safety of your home. In a home environment it is not as easy for plants to dry out like they do in the sun. Over watering a plant can result in leaf rot, or cause growth on the soil or plant itself. If the plant begins to grow mold that mold is then in your home and could affect other areas of the home.  Growth on plants can also result from having too many of them too close together. This close habitat causes them not to be able to breath as well. 

What all of this boils down to is that over watering can cause damage to the flooring and walls of your home. Make sure the keep up with your home and plants.
