1. Find the location(s) that you want a plant to be. Look how much sun that spot gets. Is it a bright window or a dark corner? Is there a lot of space for a big plant or do you need something small? Think vertical space: can the plant trail down the spot, like a photos or do you want it to just grow upwards, like a snake plant?
2. Assess your temperatures and drafts. Is it front of an AC unit or big open window? What’s the average temperature of your home? Some plants, like mass canes don’t do well in colder temperatures, so if you’re someone who keeps it super cold, stay away from those plants.
3. Check out the humidity of your home. Some plants have stricter humidity levels they can tolerate/prefer.
4. What is your maintenance level? Are you willing to put in work? Do you travel a lot? Think about your daily routines and that will help you determine the kind of plants that you should buy. Snake plants are able to be neglected, so they would be great for someone who travels a lot. I find the peace lilies need to watched over a bit, so perfect for someone who is home throughout the week.

I’ve been wanting to put a little garden outside but I’m scared I’ll let it die lol I also LOVE succulents. But im scared about those too. Like how are you supposed to care for those?! Haha

Thank you so much!! I have such a hard time with succulents because they don’t require a lot of watering, so I always end up over watering them. I would check out @gypsytanhome on Instagram, she gives so many good plant tips!
