HAPP Y HOUSEPLANTS YOUR SIMPLE GUIDE TO PLANT CARE
Love plants but lack a green thumb? Fear not—with the right light exposure and the proper amount of watering, you can keep houseplants alive (we promise!). We headed to one of our favorite local gardening centers, Fifth Season Gardening Center in Charlottesville, VA, and spoke with Pam Scott (whom we’ve officially dubbed the Gardening Goddess) for some advice. We strolled through the expansive gardening center to choose some of our favorite houseplants, and Pam helped us sort them into categories: low light, mid light, and high light. Not sure what type of light you have? Grab your compass! A north-facing room, or one with no windows, is low light. An east-facing room or west-facing room typically has mid light. A south-facing room with lots of windows has high light. Flip through the pages to mark your favorites, then head to your local gardening center to purchase. Ask for tips on which size planter to use, and what type of soil or additives they recommend.
