Greenery That Thrives on Neglect
I don't have a green thumb. I chose these specific plants because they actually prefer it when you forget to water them. Amazon delivers them live to your door in perfect condition.
Why I Love This: This is the tank of the plant world. It grows vertically (great for tight corners) and has these cool, sword-like leaves. It filters toxins out of the air at night. I water it maybe once a month. It looks sculptural and modern, addin...
Snake Plant
Why I Love This: If you live in a dark apartment, this is the answer. The ZZ plant has shiny, waxy leaves that look polished. It basically laughs at low light. I keep one in my hallway where there are no windows, and it’s still growing. It’s the easi...
ZZ Plant
Why I Love This: I put this on top of my bookshelf. It grows fast and the vines trail down over the edge, giving the room that "jungle" vibe. It tells you when it’s thirsty (the leaves droop slightly), you water it, and it bounces back in an hour. It...
How to Care for Golden Pothos (Devil's Ivy)
Architectural Design
The plastic nursery pot looks cheap. I upgrade the look immediately with these pots that match the "Industrial/Mid-Century" aesthetic of my apartment.
Why I Love This: Getting plants off the floor is key for design. This wooden stand adds warmth and height. It’s adjustable, so as my plant gets bigger and I need a wider pot, the stand expands with it. It turns a boring plant into a statement piece o...
Fox & Fern: Plant Stands
Why I Love This: I love the texture of raw concrete. It contrasts perfectly with the green leaves. These pots have a drainage hole (crucial so you don't drown the roots) and a matching saucer. The matte finish feels premium and heavy, anchoring the p...
Seminyak Grey Cement Indoor/Outdoor Planter XL Set of 2 + Reviews
Why I Love This: Floor space is premium real estate. I use these to hang plants from the ceiling or curtain rod. Unlike the grandma-style white ones, the black cord looks masculine and modern. It draws the eye up and makes the ceilings feel taller.
Mkono Macrame Indoor Hanging Planter Basket
Science, Not Guesswork
Over-watering is the #1 killer of plants. I use these simple tools to know exactly what my jungle needs without getting my hands dirty.
Why I Love This: Plastic spray bottles are ugly. This glass mister looks like an antique perfume bottle. I leave it out on the coffee table because it looks cool. I use it to mist my tropical plants (they love humidity). It turns a chore into a nice ...
OFFIDIX Glass Plant Spray Bottle, 6.3" Vintage
Why I Love This: Most grow lights are purple and look like a nightclub. This bulb fits in a regular lamp socket but emits a crisp, white daylight spectrum. I put it in my desk lamp and aim it at my plants. It keeps them growing fast even in the dead ...
LED Grow Lights Collection for Indoor Plants
Why I Love This: I used to use a plastic cup and spilled water all over my floor. This can has a long, thin neck that allows for surgical precision. I can bypass the leaves and water the soil directly (which prevents rot). It looks sleek and industri...
