FAQs

Q: How often should I water my indoor plants in an apartment?

A: Most of the plants on our list prefer to dry out between waterings. A good rule of thumb - stick your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, it's time to water. For snake plants, jade plants, and ZZ plants, less is more. They would rather be underwatered than overwatered. Peace lilies will actually droop and tell you when they're thirsty. Generally, watering once a week or even every two weeks works for most apartment plants.

Q: What if my apartment doesn't get much natural light?

A: You're in luck! Most plants on our list are low-light champions. Snake plants, ZZ plants, and pothos can thrive in low to medium light conditions. They won't mind being placed away from windows. Avoid placing sun-loving plants like jade and fiddle leaf fig in dark corners though.

Q: Can I take my plants with me when I move?

A: Absolutely! That's the beauty of indoor plants for renters - they're 100% portable. Unlike paint jobs or fixtures, your plant collection moves with you. Just pack them carefully in boxes with some newspaper for cushioning, water them a day before the move. Your green babies will settle into your new place just fine.
