Could you please explain me which option should I use?
I would like to have a green house with rare plants from all over the world. I could take care of them (myself / by myself)?
And why?

Best Answer
They're both correct, but they mean slightly different things.
In "I could take care of them myself", the myself emphasizes that I'd be the one taking care of them, as opposed to someone else. It doesn't really change the meaning of the sentence, it just emphasizes a certain aspect of it.
In "I could take care of them by myself", the by myself means "without help from others".
