× I'm very passionate about keeping plants at my home and I also have a garden in my balcony beside my room.

✓ I'm very passionate about keeping plants at home and I also have a garden on my balcony next to my room.

Incorrect use of prepositions: 'at my home' is acceptable but wordy; native speakers usually say 'at home' or 'in my home'. 'in my balcony' is incorrect because 'on' is used with balcony. 'beside my room' is awkward in this context; 'next to my room' is more natural. Suggest using 'at home' and 'on my balcony next to my room' for correct prepositions and natural phrasing.

× As far as I remember, I started growing different kinds of plants like flowers, fruits and also some vegetables when I was young and I think it would be nearly a decade ago.

✓ As far as I remember, I started growing different kinds of plants like flowers, fruits and some vegetables when I was young, and I think it was nearly a decade ago.

Incorrect tense/modal use: 'would be nearly a decade ago' mixes conditional/modal with past time reference. Use simple past 'it was nearly a decade ago' to refer to a past time. Also remove redundant 'also' for concision.

× I water it in the every morning and evening and I also used some organic compost and liquid fertilizer occasionally to keep the soil healthy and new tissues.

✓ I water it every morning and evening, and I also use some organic compost and liquid fertilizer occasionally to keep the soil healthy and promote new growth.

Several issues: 'in the every morning' is incorrect: use 'every morning' (no article or preposition). 'I also used' mixes past with present routine; the question asks about current habit so use present simple 'I also use'. 'new tissues' is unnatural for plants; 'new growth' is the correct collocation. Suggest making tense consistent and using correct noun phrases.

× Chinese people prefer sending plants as a gift because they know the significance of green and trees, so they try to keep the. Greenery.

✓ Chinese people prefer sending plants as gifts because they know the significance of greenery and trees, so they try to preserve it.

Multiple small errors: 'as a gift' should be plural 'as gifts' when speaking generally. 'the significance of green and trees' is awkward; use 'the significance of greenery and trees'. 'so they try to keep the. Greenery.' has punctuation and sentence boundary errors; combine and use 'preserve it' or 'maintain greenery'. Also ensure no stray capitalization. Suggest smooth phrasing: 'send plants as gifts' and 'preserve greenery.'
