https://cdn.apartmenttherapy.info/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto:eco,c_fit,w_730,h_487/at%2Farchive%2F6d8559fe566be518e6f60c674d39f4ae1a526f06

There are so many reasons to love getting your hands dirty, whether it’s from repotting your plants, beautifying your indoor or outdoor space with a good DIY, or nurturing living things in the garden. It feels good to get in there and get stuff done. What’s not so fun is having dirt under your nails after your […]

https://cdn.apartmenttherapy.info/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto:eco,c_fit,w_730,h_484/at%2Fhouse%20tours%2Farchive%2Fpines%2Fa7c63af30da6dcaa3e43e6f58374ded21a5a61de

It’s impressive enough that Samantha and Brendan Binger were able to fit their stuff, three dogs, and two cats in their home RV… and make the space look warm, lovely and homey. But did you notice all those plants?! Sam says there are an amazing 95 plants present (and that’s NOT including “all the succulents packed into terrariums”). Being able […]

This past Valentine’s Day, my boyfriend gave me a potted orchid instead of the usual bouquet of carnations and roses. Having never owned an orchid before, I checked the tag for care instructions and learned I was supposed to water it with three ice cubes, or about ¼ cup of water, once a week. I’ve […]

https://cdn.apartmenttherapy.info/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto:eco,c_fit,w_730,h_487/at%2Fhouse%20tours%2Farchive%2FTinyhousemama%2F39277025a5047aacb6cec285a8b352ee06f97888

We all know on some level, even if we forget from time to time, that the filtered and staged images we see on Instagram aren’t exactly real life. Take, for instance, a picture-perfect plant placed in just the right woven basket in a ubiquitous pale-palette living room. It could be a happy, healthy plant cared […]

https://cdn.apartmenttherapy.info/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto:eco,c_fit,w_730,h_484/project%20prism%2Fcolor%20search%20archive%2F76b87ac00ffec1f181349ff63214ac61f7f4a12a

  We called the Monstera plant trend years ago, and it’s still going strong, and especially on Instagram. Charlotte Parker, social manager of Apartment Therapy’s IPlantEven account, recently told Racked she estimates that Monstera leaves are featured in more than 25% of interior design content she sees on the social media platform these days. Using […]

Unique, Under-the-Radar Oxalis Plants Are Also Low-Maintenance

  Unfortunately for the black thumbs of the world, those darling houseplants of the design blog world are not typically beloved for their ease of care. They’re showstoppers, to be sure, with dramatic leaves and bright blooms, but rarely are they dogged survivors. (We’re looking at you fiddle-leaf fig!) That’s why we’re so excited to […]

The Trick to Growing Your Own Pineapple At Home

https://cdn.apartmenttherapy.info/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto:eco,c_fit,w_730,h_488/at%2Farchive%2F75ced0bf61d1547f2713067a39f61583f6103277

  Fun fact: Pineapples are actually a mmber of the bromeliad family, a tropical species long popular with houseplant enthusiasts for their dramatic spiky leaves and neon-colored blooms. And, it turns out, you can even grow a pineapple as a houseplant, too. You don’t need to make a special trip to the nursery either—just add […]

6 Plants That Naturally Repel Mosquitoes

https://cdn.apartmenttherapy.info/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto:eco,c_fit,w_730,h_502/project%20prism%2Fcolor%20search%20archive%2F02fac59e44ce20b1ce6f0d8c3803dfd24a62ccbe

  I live in a one bedroom “garden” apartment, which means that I get to have my own front door, porch, and small strip of flower bed. The only downside? The flower bed is under the porch roof, which means it’s constantly damp and shady, and also an ideal mosquito habitat. So this year, after […]

  If you’ve ever seen the cult classic film Little Shop of Horrors, you might have a hard time shaking the feeling that carnivorous plants are out to get you while you sleep. But it’s time to put those images of creepy, singing, human-swallowing alien plants out of your head for good, because meat-eating plants are […]
