Every room needs a little greenery, whether faux or real. However, I truly believe that having real houseplants in your home is a natural mood-booster. Humans are generally happiest when surrounded by nature. Adding a few potted plants makes your home feel cozy and relaxing.
No green thumb? No problem. Honestly, there is a houseplant for everyone. And once you get to know your plant, fulfilling their needs truly begins to come naturally to you.
As with outdoor gardening, we learn from those who have succeeded before us and pass down their knowledge, and the internet is a wonderful resource for plant parents, as are your friends, family, or the person at your local nursery.
Personally, I have grown in my ability to care for my plants through practice and curiosity. When I learn to care for a new plant, I create a little care sheet that I can easily reference, assuring I am caring for the plant in the proper way. My information has come from trusted sites, personal experience, and other plant lovers. I’ve gathered my care sheets here for you to reference as you’d like!
Some of my favorite places to buy houseplants:
Logee’s Greenhouse : 141 North St, Danielson, CT 06239
Jordan’s Jungle : 545 Pawtucket Ave, Pawtucket, RI 02860
Fancy Plantsy : Winter Garden, FL 34787
In my experience with the nurseries listed above, I’ve always received a healthy plant and wonderful customer service. Please note, I also support the local nurseries in my area, and I encourage you to, as well!
