Not all of us are blessed with the gift of a green thumb. Some of us may not even know what that expression means. If you struggle when it comes to keeping your houseplants alive and growing well, you are not alone. Just because you do not have a green thumb doesn’t mean that you can’t have beautiful plants in your home. We are here to help gardeners discover that growing houseplants can be a simple, rewarding experience.

Having an indoor garden can be just as fun and beneficial as having an outdoor garden. Not only are houseplants easy decorative items, but they clean the air around them too. This means that your home will have fresh clean air, all while looking stylish.

We have compiled a handy list of the easiest houseplants for you to grow in your home. Remember that you always need to do your research when choosing them for your home, especially if you have children and pets. Some houseplants are toxic if proper precautions aren’t taken.

One tip for keeping your houseplants alive and thriving is to start by reading the tag that comes with the plant. The tag will tell you how much sunlight and water that specific plant needs. We know that remembering to water them is usually the cause of them wilting away. Thankfully, 46 & Spruce has smart and simple products that take the guesswork out of watering your plants. Any of the houseplants on the above list will work well with these products.
