Houseplants are huge right now. Not only are they very affordable to buy, but most houseplants are surprisingly easy to take care of and add an instant burst of life and joy into any space. If you want to freshen up your home and try a new look, you can’t go wrong with a houseplant or two.

If you’re not much of an indoor gardener just yet, take a look at my post on the best indoor plants for beginners. It includes ten different plants that are perfect to start out with if you’re still searching for your green thumb.

While it’s always fun stroll along the aisles of a garden center and grab anything that shouts out to you, that’s now how you build your own urban jungle at home. You need to choose the right plants that not only suit your space, but suit the amount of time and effort you can put into looking after them, too.

The following nine plant books are amazing sources of information that will help you throughout every single aspect of your plant ownership journey. From choosing the best houseplants and placing them in the right spots to advice on how to take care of them and styling tips to make them look even better than they already do.

Want to change your home environment, boost your mood and improve your health? Add some indoor plants to your home and you’ll instantly begin to feel the flow of energy throughout your living space.

Not convinced plants can improve your mental health? Having plants inside your home makes you think of the outdoors, open spaces, and fresh air. Plants are a constant reminder to be present. They are literally sitting there calmly each day doing their thing. Growing, blooming, and simply being.

If you followed my recent return home, you’ll know I wound up stuck in Thailand and sadly almost all my plants died. But one did survive….my Snake Plant.

If you’re looking for a houseplant that’s easy to take care of, start with a Snake Plant. Some people call them Mother-in-Laws’ Tongues. The only time I see these plants die is when people overwater them. And speaking of overwatering, this is the number one way people kill plants.
