I've been trying to grow plants recently, but is having a problem with keeping them alive. I live in a small room with no direct sunlight except this one window. I'm also experimenting with propagation. Is there a type of soil that is most appropriate for my living conditions?

You need to make sure you buy plants that will grow in your low-light conditions. Even then you will need to keep them by your only window.

Can we have more details about your practices? What kinds of plants are you trying to grow, even if unsuccessfully? What type of potting medium are you using?

Is it vegetable plants that you are trying to grow in a small room with one window or did you post this question in the wrong forum? This can be a confusing website.
