Our Story
Better Indoor Houseplants began with a simple frustration: despite the wealth of plant information available online, finding reliable, specific care instructions for indoor plants was surprisingly difficult.
Our founder, an avid plant collector who had killed one too many "unkillable" plants, set out to create the resource they wished had existed – one that combined scientific knowledge with practical experience and local resources.
Today, we've grown into a comprehensive platform that helps thousands of plant enthusiasts each month find the perfect plants for their space, connect with local nurseries, and successfully care for their indoor jungle.
Our community-driven approach ensures our content remains practical, actionable, and continuously improving – just like our own plant care skills!
