My Favorite Plants
I started with one plant, and now have many…possibly too many.
Monstera is hands down my number one favorite plant. The bigger pot you have it in the bigger the leaves will get. Very easy to keep alive!
Monstera Deliciosa Split-Leaf Philodendron Live Swiss Cheese Plant
Don't have much light? This is perfect one for low light - I only need to water mine about once a month.
Sansevieria Snake Plant
Pothos have so many different colors and they look great when they start trailing.
Golden Pothos Indoor Vining Houseplant
If you have a corner that gets lots of light, this one is the best! It looks so beautiful, and they fill a large space perfectly.
White Bird of Paradise Live Indoor Strelitzia Nicolai Plant
I love a fiddle HOWEVER, they are harder for me for some reason. I feel like they have to be in the perfect room placement with no breezy open windows. That being said I think they are so cool when they get big and tall.
Costa Farms Ficus Lyrata Fiddle Leaf Fig Standard House
I love the colors in the leaves in this one. I have had one that I can't seem to get bigger - it's beautiful but just stays the same size. To me this isn't beginner plant but it could just be me!
Calathea Rattlesnake Prayer Plant 6 inch Grower Pot
I always heard these were harder make happy, however I have found that if you have the right window light - They are so easy. In my case I have west facing window that gets all the afternoon sun and it's great!

Here are a few tools that have helped keep my plants thriving.
This is a GAME CHANGER for me. I was a major over water gal until I killed way too plants. This really helped me figure out a water scheduling.
SZHLUX Moisture Meter Soil Hygrometer Sensor
Ok I have seen a lot of posts where people don't like this brand however, I have been using it for years and my plants are thriving!
Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix 50 qt. For Container Plants, Protects Against Over- and Under-Watering
I add a little of this to my plants every time I repot them. If they don't need repotting, I will add this every few months to give them a little refresh. I feel like it has helped growth in most of my plants.
Osmocote Smart-Release Plant Food Plus Granular
This is great to keep on hand - if you ever have a pest issue- this will solve it. If you have the bigger plants, this is great to put on to shine up the leaves.
Nani's Pure Neem Oil Concentrate - 100% Cold Pressed
I have a pair of these on hand whenever I need to give my trailing plants a little haircut to propagate.
VIVOSUN 6.5" Gardening Pruner Shear
Ok these aren't a “MUST” but they are nice to have when you are repotting something.

I love using these globes when I go on vacation or for plants I have higher on a shelf. They work great!
Mission Gallery Set of 6 Multicolored Plant Watering Globes
My Favorite Pots and Planters
There are so many types of planters you can choose from. I prefer to use terra cotta or ceramic, but they HAVE to have a drainage hole.
I have this one and I get so many compliments on it. I have it in a corner that gets a lot of light and it's so shiny! Makes a good gift as well :)
EKGOVRZ 6" Disco Ball Mirror Planter
LOVE this one! It's perfect for the taller plants. I have seen people paint designs on the terra cotta too.
Unbranded 15 in. Clay Tall Modern Modesto Planter
Love a neutral pot that can be moved from room to room - This one has the perfect fluted detail.
9" Ceramic Planter Pot Sour Cream - Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia
Another great smaller plant choice for a table or shelf. This one is great with the saucer too.
