Plant parents like to think they know it all, but do you really have all of the best plant-care products in your arsenal? While houseplants are generally uncomplicated (it all comes down to water, light, and food), it can be a real challenge to mimic bright, tropical environments—especially if you live in a lightless apartment or colder climate. That’s where we come in. We tapped four plant experts for tips and guidance on the ideal plant-care products for thriving plants, while keeping the planet in mind: Maryah Greene, plant stylist and consultant, founder of Greene Piece; Agatha Isabel, founder of Planting for Progress and owner of Plant Ma Shop; Nathan Raab, owner of Pointless Plants; and Jarema Osofsky, landscape and interior-plant designer and founder of Dirt Queen NYC.
Whether your green gals are lush AF, or you have one plant hanging on for dear life, this plant-care guide is here to serve as a resource for you throughout your plant-parenthood journey. Each of these tools comes recommended by the experts, with tips on how to use each one and why they’re important. From a décor grow light to a buzzy soil alternative, we have everything you’ll need for happy houseplants—no matter how green your thumb is.
