Plant Care Guides

443 plant care guides, organised by genus and family. Every guide covers light, watering, soil, humidity, fertiliser, pet safety, pests, propagation and common problems, and each is written by the Trendy Gardener interior plantscaping team and reviewed by Hunter Frescoln.

Start with the group your plant belongs to. Species within a genus usually share the same failure modes, so the cluster page is often more useful than a single guide — if your philodendron is struggling, the answer is frequently the same one that applies to every philodendron.

Aroids

Foliage and texture

Structure and scale

Flowering and display

Before you diagnose a plant, check the light

Most indoor plant problems are light problems wearing a disguise. A plant several feet from a window may receive a fraction of the light available at the glass, and rooms that look bright to people are often inadequate. Our indoor plant lighting guide explains how to judge it properly before you change your watering routine.

Pet safety

Every care guide includes a pet safety section. For a broader view, see our list of plants toxic to cats.

When you would rather not do it yourself
