Plants for Every Routine

Not everyone lives the same way, and thankfully, not every plant expects the same from us. Whether you’re a meticulous planner, a chronic forgetter, or someone who just wants some green to bring life to their space, there’s a plant (or a few...) that will fit seamlessly into your routine!

Plant picks:

Routine: Attentive, passionate, always making room for one more

Needs: Variety, uniqueness, a little challenge

Collectors thrive on learning each plant’s personality and are happy to adjust care routines accordingly. Plenty of showy options!
