How to Propagate a Spider Plant
Spider plants make their own babies. Here's how to root them in water or soil and grow new plants to keep or share.
Houseplants
Bring a little garden indoors. Easy plants, simple care, and the quiet joy of watching something green grow on your windowsill. No green thumb needed.
Find a plant for your light
The secret to happy houseplants is simple: match the plant to the light you have.
A dim corner
Pothos and ZZ plants stay green with very little light, and forgive a missed watering.
A bright window
Prayer plants, money trees, and philodendrons love bright light without hot sun.
A sunny sill
Succulents like echeveria and aloe soak up sun and ask for very little water.
Houseplant basics
Four simple habits keep almost any houseplant healthy.
Check the light
Watch where the sun falls through the day before you choose a spot.
Use the finger test
Push a finger into the soil. Water only when the top inch feels dry.
Give it drainage
A pot with a hole lets extra water escape, so roots never sit soggy.
Be patient
Plants grow in their own time. A new leaf is worth celebrating.
