Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the care guide for my plant?
Pick your plant in the Guides by plant section. Each guide groups every article we have for that plant into care basics, propagation and repotting, leaf problems, pests and pet safety.
What if my plant isn’t listed?
Start with the houseplant care guide. Most common houseplants need the same basics: water when the top of the soil dries, bright indirect light, a pot with a drainage hole and light feeding in spring and summer.
How often are these guides updated?
We add new articles and update older ones regularly. Each plant guide shows when it was last updated at the top of the page.
