However, it can also be overwhelming if you're entirely new to gardening.
Before you head out buy a new plant, you must research, and study your
home's environmental condition and what type of houseplants can thrive in
your home.
A green thumb doesn't grow overnight, after all.
Tips for buying houseplants
๐ Light Conditions:How much light do you have? Every houseplant has different sun requirements. Some
houseplants prefer bright, indirect light, some houseplants prefer full
sun of at least six to eight hours each day, and some houseplants can
tolerate partially sunny or shady conditions. Check your home at
different times of day to learn how much light your home receives.
๐ Soil:What kind of soil is needed? Do a soil test before you buy houseplants.
There are three main types of soil: clay, loam, and sandy. Purchase soil
test kits at your hardware store. It's not difficult or expensive. It
will only take less than $15 and 15 minutes to find out what type of
soil you have.
๐ก Space: How much space do you have? If you live in the city, most likely
you have limited floor space for houseplants, so we suggest hanging
plants or small houseplants.
๐ Time: How much time do you have? Some houseplants require more
maintenance and TLC. If you are a traveling plant parent and also
forgetful, it's best to choose drought-tolerant and hard-to-kill
houseplants. Buy houseplants that match up your commitment level and
plant parent personality.
