Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which plants are right for my home?
The most important factor is understanding your light conditions. Start by observing how much natural light each room receives throughout the day. South-facing windows typically provide the most light, suitable for sun-loving plants like succulents and cacti. North-facing rooms work well for low-light plants like pothos and snake plants. Our Indoor Plants Guide provides detailed recommendations based on your specific conditions.
How often should I water my plants?
There's no universal watering schedule that works for every plant. Watering frequency depends on the plant species, pot size, soil type, temperature, humidity, and light levels. The best approach is to check the soil moisture before watering — insert your finger about two inches into the soil. If it feels dry at that depth, it's time to water. Most houseplants prefer to dry out slightly between waterings rather than sitting in constantly moist soil, which can lead to root rot.
Can I start a garden if I have no experience?
Absolutely! Everyone starts somewhere, and many of the most successful gardeners began with zero experience. We recommend starting with forgiving, easy-to-grow plants like pothos, snake plants, or herbs like basil and mint. Our beginner guides are specifically designed to build your confidence and knowledge step by step, so you can progress at your own pace without feeling overwhelmed.
