Factors to Consider When Choosing Houseplants

Light Requirements
One of the most important factors when choosing a houseplant is the amount of natural light your space receives. While some plants, like the Fiddle-Leaf Fig, thrive in bright, indirect light, others, like the Laurentii Snake Plant and ZZ Plant, can tolerate low-light conditions. Be sure to select a plant that matches the lighting in your home.

Size and Growth Habit
Houseplants come in a variety of sizes and shapes, so consider the space you have available. If you’re looking for a tall, dramatic plant, options like the Fiddle-Leaf Fig or Arbequina Olive Tree are ideal. For more compact spaces, smaller varieties like the Improved Meyer Lemon Bush or Fignominal Fig are perfect.

Care Level
Whether you have a green thumb or are just starting your indoor garden, it’s important to choose a plant that fits your lifestyle. Low-maintenance houseplants like the Laurentii Snake Plant or ZZ Plant are great for beginners, while more involved plants like the Improved Meyer Lemon Tree or Arabica Coffee Plant may require more care and attention.

Planting and Caring for Houseplants

Potting and Soil
Most houseplants thrive in well-draining potting soil. When potting your plant, make sure the container has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the roots. Re-pot your houseplant every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth.

Watering and Fertilization
Houseplants typically require regular watering, but it’s important not to overwater. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings, and adjust the frequency based on the plant’s specific needs. Many houseplants benefit from occasional fertilization during the growing season, using a balanced liquid fertilizer.

Pruning and Maintenance
Regular pruning helps keep houseplants healthy and encourages new growth. Remove dead or yellowing leaves, and trim back any leggy growth to maintain a compact, attractive shape. Some houseplants, like the Fiddle-Leaf Fig, may need support stakes to help them grow upright as they mature.
