If you're just getting started with indoor plants, this guide is for you. Learn how to choose the right plants based on the lighting in your home, how to water them properly, and the essential care tips every plant parent should know. Perfect for helping your first plants survive and thrive.
Where to begin? Choose easy plants like pothos, sansevieria, or dracaena. Observe how much natural light each room receives and place plants accordingly. Avoid moving them frequently, as sudden changes can stress them out. It's also essential to know the right type of soil for each plant and ensure pots have proper drainage.
Get familiar with plant growth cycles: many plants have an active growing season in spring and summer and go dormant in fall and winter. During active growth, they need more water, light, and nutrients. During dormancy, reduce watering and avoid repotting or heavy pruning.
