How to Choose the Right Houseplant

Before you buy, think about where your plant will live and how much light it’ll get.

• Low-light spaces: Try ZZ plants, peace lilies, or ferns.
  
  
• Bright, sunny rooms: Go for succulents, Monsteras, or palms.
  
  
• Pet-friendly homes: Explore non-toxic options like Calatheas and Areca palms.
  
  

For beginners, we always recommend easy-care varieties - they’ll reward you with lush growth even if you forget a watering or two.

Caring for Indoor Plants

Most houseplants prefer consistent, indirect light and moderate watering. Always check the soil before watering - too much moisture can do more harm than too little. Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust, and feed monthly during spring and summer with a gentle houseplant fertiliser.

We have created a wide range of plant care guides which you can find in our plant blog - if you have any questions please reach out so we can help you keep your plants thriving for years.

Frequently Asked Questions About Houseplants

What are the easiest houseplants for beginners?

Low-maintenance choices include snake plants, pothos, and ZZ plants - they handle irregular watering and lower light well.

How often should I water indoor plants?

It depends on the species and environment. Most houseplants prefer their soil to dry slightly between waterings. Always check the top inch of soil - if it’s dry, it’s time to water.

Can houseplants survive in low light?

Yes. Varieties like ferns, peace lilies, and ZZ plants thrive in lower-light rooms such as offices or north-facing spaces.

Are houseplants safe for pets?

Some plants can be toxic to cats or dogs if ingested. Check our Pet-Friendly Plants collection to find safe options for your home.

How are your plants packaged and delivered?

Each plant is carefully wrapped in protective, recyclable materials and shipped from our Brighton store.
