To me plant stands make your babies look more like decorations. It can help elevate the vibe.

Nursery pots are a plant hack. Not only are they perfect for planting your cuttings you recently propagated, they're good to keep an eye on your problem plants. You can visually see the dryness or root rot taking place so you can problem solve faster

I recommend this light if you have a bunch of plants you're looking to get under the grow light at once. Instead of having to buy multiple this is a nice space saver. It's also easy to take down and collapse into a smaller size for storage during the...

If you're taking on a plant who is super prone to root rot, watch a video on leca! Personally my monstera Thai con is in leca and I have had no issues so far!
Leca Pebbles
I use these to mix and store my soil mix! I buy 3 different kinds of soil, pour them all in here and mix them to my preferred potting ratio. It saves so much time, space and is super easy to move around when it comes time to repot

Orchid Bark Classic Potting Mix
This is a perfect starting base for a lot of the plants that I have. I add in other high drainage items like perlite and orchid bark. Make sure you're adjusting to what your plants needs are!
