It feels good to get in there and get stuff done. What’s not so fun is having dirt under your nails after your […]

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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
There’s no shortage of plant-obsessed accounts to follow on Instagram. The hashtag #plantsofinstagram alone produces more than 1 million posts, most of which come straight from the hands of plant parents across the globe. And if you’re anything like us, you depend on Instagram posts to help inspire and inform all of your gardening […]
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 […]
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 […]
