Daily care and tips for Plants

How can I tell when to water my houseplants?

Everything you need to know about Plants

Which plant should I choose for my first purchase?

The genera Pothos, Sansevieria and Zamioculcas are particularly well suited to beginners, thanks to their tolerance of infrequent watering and varying light levels. These plants can also withstand occasional lapses in care without suffering any lasting harm. They make an excellent starting point before moving on to more demanding species.

Which plants are suitable for a low-light apartment?

The ZZ plant, the Chinese evergreen, and the pothos tolerate low indirect light without withering. A distance of 2 to 3 meters from a window is generally sufficient for these genera. For truly dark rooms, a full-spectrum grow light effectively compensates for the lack of natural light.

Are houseplants toxic to cats and dogs?

Some genera, such as Dieffenbachia and Philodendron, are toxic if ingested, while others, such as Chlorophytum and Calathea, are safe. The ASPCA database remains the go-to resource for checking whether a species is toxic before purchasing it. It is advisable to keep toxic plants out of reach of the most curious pets.

Indoor plants: greenery that transforms a house into a home

Some rooms simply lack life, and sometimes one plant is all it takes to change everything. Our selection of plants includes iconic genera such as Monstera, Pothos and Calathea, suited to a wide range of interiors, from dimly lit studios to sun-drenched living rooms. Each species has its own needs, but they all share the ability to add depth and color to a living space.

Choosing plants: criteria and tips

The choice depends above all on the room’s actual light levels, the time available for care and the floor space. Genera such as Sansevieria and Zamioculcas tolerate low light and infrequent watering, while an airy, well-draining potting mix remains essential for most tropical plants. Water only once our substrate enriched with biostimulants for aroids has dried out thoroughly, and regular feeding with our liquid fertilizer for indoor plants supports foliage growth.
