California Houseplants Care Guide

Taking care of indoor house plants is an endeavor that many try go get into, but a budding plant enthusiast may be overwhelmed by the plethora of options regarding plant care. Here, we have a simple visualization of some popular indoor house plants and some of the characteristics we thought planters would be interested in knowing. This includes whether the plant purifies air, can be hung, and if it is pet friendly (i.e., non-toxic to dogs and cats). This visualization can be used as a simple buyer's guide by showing various plants and their needs which the buyer can judge against their own lifestyle.
