Before You Head to the Plant Shop...

Ask yourself these questions to narrow down your choices: 

• Sun Seeker or Shade Lover? How much natural light does your space get? Some plants bask in direct sun, while others prefer the cozy corners.

• Green Thumb in Training? If you're new to plant parenthood, start with low-maintenance varieties that forgive forgetful watering. (We all have those days!)

• Busy Bee or Plant Whisperer? How much time can you honestly devote to plant care? Choose plants that fit your lifestyle.
• Cozy Nook or Sprawling Oasis? How much space do you have? Pick a plant that won't feel cramped. Remember, some little ones grow up fast!
• Furry Friends at Home? If you have pets, make sure your chosen plant is non-toxic. Your furry companions will thank you.
• Tropical Heat or Cool Breeze? Does your home feel like a sauna or an igloo? Choose plants that thrive in your average temperatures.
• Desert Air or Humid Haven? Some plants need a bit more moisture in the air. Consider your home's humidity level.
• Budget-Friendly or Splurge-Worthy? Plants come in all price ranges. Set a budget to avoid any surprises at checkout.
• Air Purifier or Culinary Herb? What's your goal? Do you want a plant to clean the air, add a pop of color, or spice up your cooking

• Minimalist or Jungle Vibes? What's your personal style? Do you crave leafy elegance, vibrant blooms, or the quirky charm of succulents?
