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

https://cdn.apartmenttherapy.info/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto:eco,c_fit,w_730,h_698/at%2Farchive%2F93045378d40920c87bdddbde5695aab221c8540a

  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 […]

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 […]

Creepy Carnivorous Plants Actually Make Great Houseplants

https://cdn.apartmenttherapy.info/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto:eco,c_fit,w_730,h_488/at%2Farchive%2F542472698451a5e55bd63788ba12b2bb3b30c6dd

  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 […]

What Does it Mean When Your Plant Is Leggy?

https://cdn.apartmenttherapy.info/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto:eco,c_fit,w_730,h_487/at%2Fhouse%20tours%2Farchive%2FCoralie%20House%20Tour%2Fb91e9da72957521f5cb0bb42362cde0b22a0228a

  Healthy houseplants are generally described as full and bushy. They’ll have lots of dense, sturdy growth and the leaves will be crisp and green rather than limp and yellowing. If your houseplant is “leggy,” it simply means it has gotten a bit unkempt and scraggly, like a formerly stylish haircut that’s grown out unevenly […]

https://cdn.apartmenttherapy.info/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto:eco,c_fit,w_730,h_491/stock%2Fshutterstock_663894538

  There’s no denying that leafy green foliage plants add a calming and homey touch to your decor. Sometimes, though, we want to mix it up with a splash of cheery flowers. Unfortunately, coaxing plants to bloom indoors, where the light is dimmer and the air drier, often requires a more advanced level of green […]

  Though it certainly feels like it when you watch people with the gift of making every plant under their care flourish, no one is born with a green thumb: There are only black thumbs who become green thumbs, and black thumbs who haven’t yet. If you’re in the second category, knowing these dirty little […]

  Have you ever been paralyzed by too many choices when shopping? If I need to buy a new garden hand tool, I’ll obsessively scour the online reviews seeking out the best quality and the best price, add three to my cart, and then agonize over the final decision for two days. And let’s not […]
