Well, yes to some degree, yes they all need those things, but at different amounts. You can sunburn plants. A drowned plant can be harder to save than a thirsty one, and you shouldn’t feed a plant that is dormant.

But, I think neglect kills houseplants more than anything else. If it’s not yapping at their heels, a lot of people forget about the plants and then they might flood it once a month, think they’re taking care of it, but the roots rot and it’s pretty much done.
