Let's help your houseplants thrive, together
Hi, I am Neal, and I am so glad you stopped by. This is my little collection of easy-care houseplants. Wander through the photos, soak up a few simple care notes, and whenever you would like a hand, book a warm and friendly plant-care call with me.
Three care basics to start with
Most plant trouble comes down to a few simple habits. Get these right and the rest gets much easier.
Light first
Most houseplants prefer bright, indirect light near a window. Match the plant to the spot rather than forcing a spot to work.
Water less than you think
More plants suffer from overwatering than underwatering. Check that the top inch of soil is dry before you reach for the watering can.
Drainage matters
Use pots with a drainage hole so roots never sit in standing water. Empty the saucer after watering.
A few from the collection
Here are three of my favorites. See all six on the plants page.
Snake Plant
Sansevieria trifasciata
A great first plant. It tolerates low light and infrequent watering, so overwatering is the main thing to avoid.
- Light:
- Low to bright indirect light
- Water:
- Every 2 to 3 weeks, let soil dry fully
Golden Pothos
Epipremnum aureum
Trim long vines to keep it full, and root the cuttings in water to grow more plants for free.
- Light:
- Low to bright indirect light
- Water:
- When the top inch of soil is dry
Monstera
Monstera deliciosa
Give it room to spread and a moss pole to climb. New leaves develop more splits as the plant matures.
- Light:
- Bright indirect light
- Water:
- When the top 2 inches of soil are dry
