Remember, houseplants don’t actually exist…all plants evolved outside in natural environments, and simplifying their care to reflect that can help boost their growth and overall health.
From leaving them outside when the weather is good, to tips for care while on vacation, to watering from the bottom for more consistent soil moisture, these are simple things you can do to improve your houseplant collection’s health.

Mulching indoor plants is a great idea. What did you use for the mulch?
I am indoor house planting in NYC, US. We’re seeing temperatures as low as 23F outside. Here’s the thing: my apartment complex is so afraid of getting sued that they leave the heat on through the entire season! But that’s not the bad part…
I have Meyer lemon seedlings growing and (Quercus alba) white oak tree acorns germinating in the same indoor plant-tent facing Northeast-East; so sunrise is a big thing for my Meyers.
When I infrared-check the temperature, The area is usually cooler than the Meyer leaf. I have full spectrum grow lights, but the Meyers seem to be stretching to them, so I quarter turn them every week. When I set my humidifier to 60%, I only get maybe the high 40%. And when I finally get it to at least the high 50%, the temp is around 85F and the clear plastic is sweating everywhere! The overall temperature (leaf & ambiance) can fluctuate between low 70F to mid 80F.
Any suggestions? Please help?

Many plant videos give me a headache but yours and Planterina’s are my favorites. You give helpful and concise tips. No unnecessary use of words or details. And both your and Amanda’s voices are just soothing and pleasant. Thank you for creating these videos for us!

Only if the roots don’t reach the bottom ….and if the pot doesnt have multiple holes ..
If theres roots all the way down and the pot has holes the water will drown the roots and rot them ….

What should be used for good indoor houseplant mulch? Also do you ever use milk or baking soda when you water?
Note: whenever I go on an extended trip I put all my houseplants in the bathtub. I close the shower curtain and the drain and give them a good but not too much shower/soak. It’s always worked well but I did not know that by doing so I was slowing down what light does to them. Good lesson
I need some tips on how to care for a Maranta and Calathea indoors! I live in zone 6B so I definitely have to bring them inside for the winter months & I’m terrified to kill them!

I’m learning to just leave them alone….10-15 days in between watering. My zz plant isn’t thriving..I ignore it but its not putting out any new growth 😕 but its not my favorite plant either.
When you put your indoor plants outside for a time, how do you avoid getting bugs in the soil that will then come into your house and possibly infect your other plants?
Same with kids, you do more to them and they get spoiled
Fantastic advice 🪴😁
Great video! What was the first plant you showed, it was before the Maranta?? Thank you for sharing.

Trying to keep my rattlesnake alive after killing my trostar and prayer plant.
Taking your plants out makes them prone to pick up insects. I did it once will never do it again.
I have a question, since quarantine I got really into keeping houseplants, and I have 11 in my room now. A short time ago, I noticed they all have thrips, that ruin my leaves. I don’t really know what to do about them because I’m a beginner. They all are standing kinda close together because my room is a little dark and they have to share the light source. (I think that one infected the other and so on. Can you give me any advice on defeating them. Also I have an infected Maranta (same kind as yours in the video) that had besides thrisps some Mealybugs.
Nice beautiful collection of plants Watching from California I got new ideas and I love your videos
I love the plants you showed there. What type of plants are those?
This was just about to water versus not to water
