Welcome to Houseplant Guru!

Are you someone who loves houseplants and has always wanted to fill your house with them, but have no idea how to care for them? Well, today is your lucky day! I am just the account you need in your life!

As a former florist, I have a lot of experience with flowers and plants and have seen just about every odd thing a plant can throw at you. I am also an avid plant buyer as I have too many house plants to count. I have learned how to take care of a wide variety of houseplants and can tell you just about anything about them. 


My blog will cover topics related to the different types of houseplants and what type of sunlight they require, how to water your plants and what type of watering they need, what your plants are trying to tell you, where in your home your plants can live, what type of soil and pot your plant should call home, what plants are compatible in the same pot, and what kind of plants are safe for your cats and dogs if they happen to find them tasty.


I hope you all are willing and excited to join me on the journey of “Houseplant Guru”!
