If you struggle to keep houseplants alive because you can't seem to get watering right, you might want to swap soil for Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA).
It's an alternative potting mix for houseplants that has increasingly become popular for easier watering. Essentially, it's expanded clay balls that have air pockets which are able to retain moisture while providing plenty of airflow and drainage – pretty ideal for growing tropical indoor plants. By using it instead of soil, your plant's roots are less likely to rot and you won't have to water so often.
