Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Plant Finder and houseplant care
How does Plant Finder work?
Plant Finder recommends houseplants based on your specific environment conditions. Simply select your space type (bedroom, bathroom, office, etc.), light level (low, medium, bright), and humidity level (low, normal, high). Our AI-powered system then suggests plants perfectly suited to your conditions with personalized care tips.
What are the best plants for low light conditions?
The best plants for low light include Snake Plants, Pothos, ZZ Plants, Peace Lilies, and Cast Iron Plants. These plants thrive in minimal natural light and are perfect for north-facing rooms or spaces without windows.
Are there pet-safe houseplants?
Yes! Many houseplants are safe for pets including Spider Plants, Boston Ferns, Parlor Palms, Prayer Plants, and Calatheas. Plant Finder clearly marks pet-safe options and you can filter recommendations to show only non-toxic plants.
What plants are good for bathrooms?
Bathrooms are ideal for humidity-loving plants like Boston Ferns, Orchids, Peace Lilies, and Pothos. These plants thrive in the moist air common in bathrooms and many tolerate lower light conditions.
How do I care for houseplants?
Each plant has unique care requirements, but general tips include: watering when the top inch of soil is dry, providing appropriate light levels, maintaining proper humidity, using well-draining soil, and fertilizing during growing season. Plant Finder provides specific care instructions for each recommended plant.
Is Plant Finder really free?
Yes, Plant Finder is completely free to use. We earn a small commission when you purchase plants through our affiliate links (at no extra cost to you), which helps us keep the service free and improve our recommendations.
