Rooting for Your Indoor Plants

Houseplants are an easy way to add a little life and personality to your home.

As the seasons start to shift, houseplants are an easy way to bring a little greenery indoors.

Choosing the right plants and giving them a little basic care can go a long way toward keeping them healthy. Here are a few simple tips to help your houseplants thrive:

Foolproof Foliage
Spider plants, cast iron plants and pothos are forgiving choices that can handle less-than-perfect conditions.

Comfort Zones
Keep plants away from extreme heat, cold drafts and other areas where sudden temperature changes can cause stress.

Let There Be Light
Some plants love bright sunshine while others prefer lower light, so choose plants that suit the space you have available.

Watch the Water
Overwatering is one of the easiest ways to kill a houseplant. Let the soil dry as recommended and make sure excess water can drain away.

Clean & Green
Dust can collect on larger leaves, so give them an occasional gentle wipe to keep them looking fresh and healthy.

Room to Root
If roots start circling the pot or growing through the drainage holes, it may be time for a slightly larger container.

Houseplants are an easy and inexpensive way to bring a little nature indoors and brighten up almost any room. When you pick plants that fit your space and lifestyle, keeping them lean and green will become second nature.
