For me, indoor plants are more than decoration ,they’re living companions. successful propagations.
My Story
I grew up in Portland surrounded by gardens, but life took me to a cramped Seattle studio apartment with one north-facing window and zero outdoor space. I craved fresh basil for cooking and greenery to brighten my space, but thought it was impossible.
My first attempt? A grocery store basil plant that died within two weeks. Overwatered, under-lit, and completely misunderstood. I was ready to give up, but something in me refused to accept defeat.
I started researching obsessively. Grow lights, self-watering pots, soil mixes. I turned my kitchen counter into a testing ground. Some plants thrived, many died, but slowly I cracked the code.
Within six months, I was harvesting fresh herbs weekly and growing cherry tomatoes under LED lights. Friends started asking for advice, and I realized if I could do this in a tiny apartment with zero experience, anyone could.
Why Indoor Gardening Matters
For me, indoor plants are more than decoration. They’re life-changers. Those early lessons stuck with me.
Anyone can grow indoors. You don’t need a green thumb, a backyard, or perfect conditions. Just the right knowledge.
Start small, think smart. A single grow light and three pots can give you fresh herbs year-round.
Plants bring joy. Growing something connects us to nature, even in the city.
After years of trial and error, I realized my calling was helping others avoid the mistakes I made. This blog is my way of proving you don’t need outdoor space to grow a garden, just determination and the right guidance.
