you can duplicate those needs. For example, my pothos & croton lovers ... these babies LOVE bright, direct sunlight. So, I place them on a table that is very close to a window that gets this light. There are always exceptions, but let’s keep it top-level here.




sticking your finger in the plant’s soil and keep going until the soil hits your knuckle.
Is the soil dry? Bone dry? Is the planter itself LIGHT in weight? It’s time to water. 
Is the soil relatively moist/wet/soaking? Is there soil stuck to your finger? Your plant is okay!









1. If you are transplanting/repotting your plant only go 1-2 sizes bigger than the pot your baby is already in. You don’t want to stress your plant roots. Just imagine, if you have a tiny plant baby in a HUGE planter, think about how hard your roots will have to fight to get H2O
2. When watering your plant, GO SLOW. Encourage the soil and roots to absorb water before it starts to drain at the bottom.
3. Get you a pot with drainage holes and save yourself from root rot and huge headaches (and even take out the guesswork from from watering).

1. Caladiums: these can be tricky little somethings that truly enjoy humidity, moist soil & consitent warm temperatures. And a bathroom can fulfill this. Keep in mind these babies love bright, indirect light.
2. Peace Lilies: are great bathroom candidates. Not only are they superior air purifiers, but these babies also enjoy a humid, moist environment. Please remember, if you do not have the bright, indirect light this baby needs in your bathroom, invest in a grow light.
3. Bromeliads: Tropical beauties that enjoy bright, indirect light & moist soil. This baby would benefit from a bathroom jungle situation. You could also try her in the shower, proped on a shelf so her central cups can catch some water (if you have a filtered water head).
4. Boston Ferns: love water and tons of humidity. This sister girl would loveeeeeee a shower environment, just pay attention to the water temperature.
5. Prayer Plants/Peacock Plants: These babies will do fanatastic in the bathroom (not so much in the shower). As much as she love sitting next to a humidifier and being spritzed every now and then, she doesn’t like for water to sit on her foliage for too long.
6. English Ivy: One of my favorite plants! The perfect candidate for the bathroom and shower! I mean ... you need one!
7. Lucky Bamboo: A pretty chill plant that can grow in a bathroom as long as you provide enough bright, filtered light.
8. Air Plants: Another low key, chill plant that enjoys to be humid and spritzed from time to time. She would do amazing in a glass bowl in the bathroom.
9. ZZ plant: Fun fact, I named my ZZ Zoya
Not only can she thrive in low light situations, but her soil only needs to be watered when it’s dry. Like most plants she would enjoy the humidity you bathroom can produce.

10. Spider Plants: Would do amazing in bathroom that gets bright, indirect light or if you replace your vanity lights for grow lights








1. Your pile may smell b/c of too much organic (or green) materials (fruit/veggie scraps); sopping wet materials like grass clippings or really wet dead leaves. Your brown (paper/eggshells) to green matter ratio should be 50/50. Create a balanced environment.
2. To fix the smell and create more balance, I suggest adding more BROWN, shredded matter to your pile:
Which can include: non-glassy brown paper bags, newspaper, printer paper, coffee filters and even paper eggshell cartons.
This matter should be shredded finely.


3. Your pile may also smell because it is ... WAY TO WET! Watering your compost is essential to help break down your organic matter. But if it is too wet, she can start to smell foul. Add more brown matter to help soak up the dampness. You will see a change in smell in 2-3 weeks.

Use compost tea to water/fertilize your crops. Be careful when adding compost and compost tea to your indoor plants ... they may attract pests.
