It looks like its dying ( very thin if that makes sense ). Its got brown bits at the end of the leaves. Someone says this is because I have gave it too much water. Any tips?

Browning on the ends could be from any number of causes. If your plant has a stalk and the leaves are dropping after turning, it could be a dracena and could be rotting. Check the stalk and if it feels squishy, don't water for a while. If your plant is just a bunch of leaves and no stalk, it might be a peace lily or spider plant possibly. They tend to get browned tips from lack of water or humidity. Overwatering and under watering from week to could be another. You might also have spider mites-check the undersides of the leaves and the stems for tiny webbing and spray well with an insecticide if you find them. What would be beneficial to your plant would be for you to do a bit of research and find out what your plant is and its needs. Trimming off the browned ends will not hurt your plant and it will look better.

I believe it is because of too much water! And plus I know for a fact plants always die when they get too much water from their owner so try giving it as least water as ever!

sounds like a dragon tree and if it is,, it comes from a warm climate and need very little water.instead of watering the plant spray it with a little water about once a week and see if it perks up,,,,good luck

house plants should be watered every week in the summer every 2to3 weeks in winter......the best way to check is make sure the soil is damp but not saturated .... read up on plant care.
