A peace lily was planted twice at home and did not survive. Is there a dosh?
Yes. Plants are the most sensitive testers and signal earthquakes and accidents in a house in advance. White hibiscus and tulsi react at once to negativity, and a failing peace lily shows negativity in the house. Remove the negativity and the peace lily will start growing by itself.
My Mercury is debilitated in the 4th house with an exalted Venus; will plants in the North cause a problem?
No problem at all. Flowering plants represent Mercury, so keeping them in the North strengthens a weak Mercury. Keep up good work such as paying for poor children's education and sharing knowledge.
