Human: What are some ways to keep a plant alive? Assistant: 

1. Make sure the soil is well-drained and add plenty of organic material such as compost or leaf mold.
2. Water regularly, but not too much - overwatering can cause root rot.
3. Fertilize your plants with an all-purpose fertilizer every few weeks during their growing season.
4. Monitor the temperature and humidity levels in the room where you have your plant.
5. Repot your plant every two years to ensure good drainage and fresh soil.
