I have no clue. I don't have one!

The hard part is watering the right amount. Don't over water (that's a thing!) and don't under water. I haven't mastered that yet.

Don't under or over water!
Make sure pots have drain holes
Make sure the plants are getting the amount of sunlight they require.

watering them helps! also, fertilizing them. they need food too!

Watering everyday sounds a bit excessive to me, that can be just as bad for them. I dont really do house plants but i find the secret is to find the right spot for the right plant and let nature do the hard work, after all, plants want to grow.

@mrbee: This is what I told my brother (what it took me years to finally realize myself). Don't water houseplants the normal way - dunk them in water. Place the plastic pot it comes in inside of another pot (ceramic or whatever). When it's time to water, have a second pot laying around and fill it halfway with water, place just the plastic pot in it and add more water until it fills the top. It'll look like way too much water at this point. Walk away for 5-10 minutes. When you get back, most of the water will be gone. Remove the plastic pot and place it back into it's original outer pot. Repeat every week or every other week (depending on how hot it is) or when the soil is almost completely bone dry.

You don't really need a second pot, but it's much easier and cleaner that way. Always keep the plant in a plastic pot and place that inside an outer pot. When it gets bigger and it's time to repot, just replace both inner and outer pots with bigger ones.

*** The real secret is to find sturdy houseplants. This watering tactic works best with plants that don't mind or even prefer to dry up a bit before getting a good watering.

@mrbee: Late to the party, but here are my recommendations. Don't use distilled water. There are minerals in tap water that plants might use. If you are worried about chlorine, fill up a watering jug, let it sit for a couple hours and use that. Second, don't water every day. If they get too much water, the nutrients from the soil will be leeched out with the water. Stick your finger in the soil, and don't water until the soil is dry up to your first finger joint. Then give them a good watering until the water runs out the bottom of the pot (make sure there are holes in the pot). Good luck!
