Between writing about houseplant care and having my own large collection of indoor plants, I've often had conversations with people who say they're put off by the idea of having them in their home. The list of reasons why are all the same, and they're all usually misinformed. That's why I've decided to expose some of the worst houseplant myths out there, in the hopes to put your concerns to bed.
Most of the time, mumblings about indoor plants being messy, bug-magnets that are just too much of a commitment to care for stem from common indoor plant mistakes. From not watering correctly to choosing the wrong houseplant for a low-light living room, there are a number of errors that can kill off houseplants and discourage you from trying again. But, with a little know-how on keeping houseplants happy, I promise houseplant care can be a breeze.
