💧 Easy Care Plant Tips

  • Less water is almost always better. Overwatering is the #1 cause of houseplant death. When in doubt, wait another week.
  • Match the plant to your light. Use our 6-in-1 Soil & Light Detector guide to measure your exact light levels.
  • Use pots with drainage holes. No drainage = root rot risk, even for drought-tolerant plants.
  • Group plants together. Increases local humidity through transpiration, benefiting all plants in the group.
  • Fertilize lightly in spring and summer. Read our Houseplant Fertilizer Guide.
  • Check for pests monthly. Read our Pest Control Guide.
