  It’s always good to find plants that tolerate low light and won’t wither up in dry, indoor air. Get to know asparagus ferns, one of the hardiest houseplants around.

  Many houseplants hunker down for an extended period of rest, or dormancy, during the winter months. They’ll stop flowering and growing new leaves. Some species will drop leaves (even all of their leaves like shamrock plants) and that’s okay! You haven’t killed it. It’s getting ready to rest, just like trees and plenty of […]

  “It’s the thought that counts” usually only comes up when a gift hasn’t quite hit the mark.

  If you’re new to indoor gardening, the worst thing you can do is start with a plant that’s tricky to care for.
