6 things to consider before becoming a plant parent:
1. Lighting:
Every plant has it’s own Sunlight requirements. Most houseplants prefer indirect Sunlight (medium-high).
If you do not have ideal light in your space, try low light plants or grow lights.

3. Time:
Plants need lots of time, love & dedication. Get to know your plants one by one. Don’t have more plants than you have time to give them.
If you vacation a lot, stick to succulents & plants that can go weeks without watering. Keep room temp between 69-75 while gone.

4. Space:
You want to encourage growth first & foremost.
Depending on the size & potential of your plants, you’re need at least a wall space or two for a nice sized plant jungle of your own. Don’t have plants in windowless rooms, corners, or tucked behind furniture.

5. Humidity:
Keep plants away from radiators & AC vents. Too much AC can make your soil take longer to dry out thus promoting root rot.
To increase humidity, mist your plants daily/every other day or purchase humidifiers.
