The last decade has seen a boom in the popularity of houseplants. Yes, house plants. All kinds of houseplants. They help purify the air while also adding some much-needed nature vibes to the indoors of our homes. Not to mention the many varigations and unique indoor plants available, with many that are low maintenance (I’m talking about you pothos)!
This phenomenon, spurred on by Instagram and other social media platforms, has given birth to plant boutiques that are popping up all over town. Most of these locations are multi-functional spaces that offer more than just plants! Whether it be coffee, Filipino snacks, yoga sessions, or plant workshops, this new breed of retail space deserves your attention if you have a green thumb! If not, they can help you with that too!
Tips Before You Buy That Plant
There are a few things to take into consideration before you invest in a plant. Yes. I said invest. One of the pitfalls of popularity is that things get expensive. I’ve seen clippings of one of the most popular plants being sold for $120 apiece. A clipping, with no roots, and you have to propagate it in water, and then plant it. And, yes, they were being snatched up at that price. So, before you go and spend all that money on a plant, you’ll need to make sure you can provide it the home it needs. Unfortunately, love isn’t always enough.
- Figure out your sunlight situation. Plants that need a lot of light, obviously won’t thrive if your home interior doesn’t have a good source of sunlight. Make sure your plant can thrive in the lighting your home can provide.
- Monstera plants and Swiss Cheese plants are the most sought-after for the trendy plant collector. They can get expensive, so a little research could help guarantee their survival. Beware, if you also have pets, as both of these are toxic to animals.
- Speaking of pets, if your plant will be indoors and accessible by your pets, it’s a good idea to check and make sure you know if they are a danger to your pets. Plants Toxic to Dogs / Plants Toxic to Cats
- Don’t underwater your plant, but definitely don’t overwater it! It’s confusing, I know. But it’s easier for plants to recover from slight under-watering than overwatering. Make sure you have drainage holes in your pot, and a saucer to catch the overflow. If maintaining that right moisture level for your plant is proving tricky, there are small moisture gauges you can purchase to stick in the dirt. There are also apps that will remind you when to water based on the kind of plant(s) you have!
