Super good tips! I can grow a massive vegetable garden, but man I struggle to keep houseplants alive! I've killed so many baby succulents... in fact, you just reminded me that I haven't watered the lone survivor in a couple months Thanks for the tips!

I have to agree that Aloe is a very low maintenance plant that looks great and you can use it for so many skin care products. Herbs are great, but you need to water them regularly and they are not always as perfect looking as aloe.

Oh I love this!
I am a house plant hobbyist but I’m really a serial plant murderer!
I kill ALL THE SUCCULENTS! After YEARS of buying (and killing) many many plants, I have kept my aloe and a money palm alive for a couple of years.
Whatever you do, do not get a calathea if you’re looking for easy. They’re so pretty but hard to keep alive! Someone told me that I needed to mist it with water 3 times a day… that’s a pet, not a plant! Haha

In reply to Amanda @ Healthy House on the Block. Thank you for the comment! I need a plant mentor to help me know what and how to grow successfully, haha! Draining pots, soil, pH, how much water... I don't know. But if I think this list is easy, it probably really is!!

This is a great list (especially for someone like me to loves plants but cannot seem to keep them alive!) I’d love to try planting Lavender at home and seeing how that goes. I think I need to make sure they are in better draining pots.
