Dear First-time Plant Parent,🪴
We know it's overwhelming when you're new to Plant Parenting. There's so much info out there!🤯
The good news is, it's much simpler than you think! Lets dig right in!⛏️
💦Soak The Soil, Don’t Spray!
Spraying your plant is NEVER a substitute for watering them. Nor is pouring out the last sip of your water bottle when you pass by!
📍Drainage Holes Are A Must!
Nothing will cause you more problems as a plant parent than not having drainage holes in the bottom of your pot! All roots need some oxygen to do their job.
🥵"Outside" Isn't a Cure for All Houseplant Woes!
When your plant starts showing signs of stress, do NOT just put it outside! It will be a huge shock to their system, and expose them to lots of pests and bugs they would never otherwise encounter.
🌄Importance of Window Orientation!
Understanding window orientation and how it impacts the light your plants are getting, is an important skill for new and experienced plant parents alike!
👣Enjoy the Journey!
Your plants don't have to be perfect, and neither do you! You'll make mistakes in their care, and you'll definitely kill some of them, and that's ok!
Let go of all the green guilt you're carrying and just enjoy the journey!🌿🌱🌻
