About this site

How To Care For Plants is an independent houseplant-care reference. The goal is narrow and old-fashioned: give one clear, correct guide per plant, and a straight answer when a plant is struggling — without the pop-ups, the auto-playing video, and the thousand words of preamble before the watering schedule.

Plant care is genuinely evergreen. A Monstera needs the same light this year as it did ten years ago. So the guides are written to be true for years, not patched weekly, and each page shows the date its care facts were last checked against the sources it cites.

We do not sell plants, soil, or pots, and we run no sponsored reviews. The site is supported by unobtrusive display ads. Toxicity notes are stated factually and sourced to the ASPCA. See the terms for how to use this information.
