Houseplant Homebody

Welcome all plant lovers, plant experts, plant enthusiasts and beginners! I am so excited to share my adventures with all things plants! I am not an expert but join me in my ongoing journey of slowly becoming an expert! I have been passionate about all things plants for YEARS. With everything that I have explored on social media or plant websites I realized there seems to be TWO THING MISSING... a US Midwestern perspective in the amazing world of social media outlets, podcasts or blogs AND just straight, no fluff plant info. I am a proud Wisconsinite and we have a different and somewhat complicated environment for growing houseplants & plants! BUT just because we have a different environment doesn’t mean we can’t learn from the experts on the East and West coasts or around the world! Want to join my adventure? Then FOLLOW Houseplant Homebody on Instagram and Facebook and go follow my personal plant inspirations on Pinterest. You can find me at ALL of those places @houseplanthomebodyllc. And DON’T FORGET to get involved! Comment on posts or pictures, ask me questions, provide your best plant advice or tag @houseplanthomebodyllc in your posts or comments. There is so much to learn in the plant world and I want to encourage everyone to soak it up! Houseplant Homebody is the best community for ALL THINGS PLANTS.

  • Bringing plants indoors after being outdoors all summer long
  • What to do with plants that are indoors and will remain indoors
  • Things to think about when purc...

You may be reading this saying, "I don't live in WI or IL, why would I read this?!" Well, let me tell you why! You may know someone that lives in the area, you may visit these areas, or you may get a great perspective on what I consider about when plant shopping or visiting plant places.

This succulent's distinctive structure, even though fragile, is a reliable plant when given the proper care. These hanging stems hold rows of jelly bean-like leaves looking similar to a donkey's tail, hence the name!

This reptilian looking fern is iconic for its scaly patterned leaves. Even though this houseplant needs a bit more moisture and humidity, the unique texture and pattern is well worth it!

With a deceiving name, the Ponytail Palm is in fact not a palm at all but a relative of the yucca plant! This semi-succulent plant is less care than you may expect and who wouldn't love to have a "palm" that is low maintenance?!

Light can be one of the trickiest things to understand because it seems like everyone has their own definitions. It is also very dependent on your environment or the type of plant you have. That being said, this episode should help explain the complexities of sunlight!
