× Uh, in my family home, uh yes we have different types of friends and flowers, umm, and my mother provides umm, nothing with enough water and protection.
✓ Uh, in my family home, uh yes we have different types of plants and flowers, umm, and my mother provides umm, them with enough water and protection.
The word 'friends' is incorrect here; it should be 'plants' to match the context. Also, 'nothing with enough water' is incorrect; it should be 'them with enough water' to refer to the plants and flowers.
× Uh, in my family home, uh yes we have different types of friends and flowers, umm, and my mother provides umm, nothing with enough water and protection.
✓ Uh, in my family home, uh yes we have different types of plants and flowers, umm, and my mother provides umm, them with enough water and protection.
The pronoun 'nothing' is incorrectly used; it should be 'them' to refer to the plants and flowers receiving water and protection.
× Uh, but umm, I don't have uh, yet my own plants which I'll help for.
✓ Uh, but umm, I don't have my own plants yet, which I will take care of.
The sentence structure is awkward and unclear. 'Help for' is incorrect; it should be 'take care of' to express the intended meaning.
× MMM, I think that, uh, none of them because, uh, every plans, uh, which we have, uh, uh, is provided, uh, good care, uh, in watering, umm, by my mom and I don't have my own plants and I don't ever have.
✓ MMM, I think none of them because every plant we have is provided good care in watering by my mom, and I don't have my own plants and never have.
The word 'plans' should be 'plant' to match singular form with 'every'. Also, 'none of them' is better without 'that'. The sentence is corrected for clarity and grammar.
× MMM, I think that, uh, none of them because, uh, every plans, uh, which we have, uh, uh, is provided, uh, good care, uh, in watering, umm, by my mom and I don't have my own plants and I don't ever have.
✓ MMM, I think none of them because every plant we have is provided good care in watering by my mom, and I don't have my own plants and never have.
The phrase 'in watering' is awkward; it is better to say 'provided good care in watering' or 'provided good care with watering'. The correction improves preposition use and sentence flow.
× Yeah, I know about some theoretical things. For instance, when plant is growing, it needs more large size of jar to grow and every plant did not need a large amount of water.
✓ Yeah, I know about some theoretical things. For instance, when a plant is growing, it needs a larger jar to grow, and not every plant needs a large amount of water.
The word 'plant' needs an article 'a' before it. 'More large size of jar' is incorrect; it should be 'a larger jar'. Also, 'did not need' should be 'does not need' to match present tense.
× For instance, when plant is growing, it needs more large size of jar to grow and every plant did not need a large amount of water.
✓ For instance, when a plant is growing, it needs a larger jar to grow, and not every plant needs a large amount of water.
The phrase 'did not need' is past tense but the context is general truth, so present tense 'does not need' is appropriate.
× I'm so sorry that I don't have exact information regarding this point, but from my point of view I think that yes, Chinese people send appliances, gifts and they use plants as other different meanings.
✓ I'm so sorry that I don't have exact information regarding this point, but from my point of view, I think that yes, Chinese people send gifts and use plants with different meanings.
The word 'appliances' is incorrect in this context; it should be 'gifts'. Also, 'use plants as other different meanings' is awkward; it should be 'use plants with different meanings'.
