If you don't have a green thumb 🤔, indoor plants can be a challenge, but we believe in you! 👍 Plus, they help liven up 🌱 your space, especially during colder weather, not to mention, they provide lots of health benefits. 🤩

📌Here's a few tips to try, to keep them thriving:

💡 Light! Make sure you pick a spot in your home 🏡 next to a window with an adequate source of natural light. 🔆 Remember to turn the plant pot every few days to promote even growth.

💧 Water! Did you know the main cause of dead houseplants is overwatering? 🤓 They're not made to have soil that's always wet 🙅‍♂️ and should have proper drainage at the bottom of their pot.

😅 Humidity! Plants 🌿 typically prefer a 50%+ humidity level which can be a challenge to accommodate indoors, especially during the winter months! ❄️ Put your plants close together to support one another 💪 and set pots on shallow beds of moistened gravel to raise humidity levels or get a humidifier.

🐜 Pests! Even though it's inside of your home 🏠, bugs still find their way to your plants! 🚫 To kill bugs, place a clove of garlic in the soil. To kill 🕷️ spiders/mites, mist under the leaves using 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of buttermilk and 1-gallon of cool water.
