Choosing Your Next Indoor Plant
When choosing your next houseplant, there are a few things to take into consideration:
Your light conditions (sunny, west-facing window? Shady corner? Bright, indirect light from a north-facing window?)
The size of your space (how tall can the plant get before it hits it’s head on the ceiling? Will a wide plant obstruct a narrow hallway? Do you need something small that will stay small or can your new plant grow quickly?)
Your plant-nurturing nature (are you an overwaterer? Do you prefer a plant that can be ignored? Do you travel often? Do you love to dote on your indoor plants?)
There’s a houseplant for everyone and every space. You just need to think about what will be best for your unique set of circumstances. Here are some blog articles that can help. From individual plant profiles to lists of tropical plants to plants for beginners, we guarantee you’ll find your next leafy friend in no time!
