Houseplants: Easiest to Grow

When you buy a plant to keep indoors, take time to learn about its needs. Most of our plants come with basic care instructions on their tags. We will be happy to help you learn about your plant and its requirements.

When to water: Most plants die from improper watering. When a plant is too dry, its leaves droop. When a plant has been watered too much, roots begin to rot, leaves eventually wilt and the plant dies. Always water until water drains out the bottom of the pot. Discard water that collects in the saucer. A turkey baster is handy for removing water from the saucers of large plants.

To guide your watering decisions, use a moisture meter.
