Intermediate plants are plants that can be killed by inexperienced hobbyists and also hobbyists that don’t want to add regular plant food and supplements.

Advance
Plants that fall into this category usually have very specific needs that if not met could cause the plant to lose it lustre or even die. Specialized care comes in the form of special soil and water parameters and circulation, finite growth potential and rigorous light control.
