Are your houseplants being dramatic? Let’s talk about the ✨top 3 ways people accidentally sabotage their houseplants✨ (don’t worry… we’ve ALL been guilty 😅)
🌱 1. Overwatering AKA loving them to death
If you love your plant, you don’t need to drown it. Most houseplants would rather be a little thirsty than sitting in soggy soil.
👉 Tip: Stick your finger in the soil—if it’s still damp, step away from the watering can.
🌱 2. “This corner is cute” (but it’s basically a cave)
Plants need LIGHT. That aesthetic dark corner? Your plant disagrees.
👉 Tip: If you can’t comfortably read a book there during the day, your plant probably can’t thrive there either.
🌱 3. Ignoring the pot + soil situation
Keeping a plant in the same tiny nursery pot forever with old, compacted soil = sad roots.
👉 Tip: Give your plant fresh, well-draining soil and upgrade its pot when you notice the roots circling the pot —it makes a HUGE difference.
🌿 Bonus truth: Plants aren’t “hard,” we just have to learn what they actually need (not what we think they need 😄)
If your plant is struggling, don’t give up on it—you’re probably just one small change away from it thriving 💚
Come see me at the market if you need help picking the right plant (or fixing the one you already have 😉)
