Description
This course is for anyone who likes the idea of having house plants but finds it difficult to keep them alive.
Maybe you've had plants before and concluded you have a "black thumb", or maybe you're a complete beginner who likes the idea of house plants but feels overwhelmed by all there is to learn. Maybe you worry that you're too busy for plants and that caring for them will require too much time and energy.
In this course, you'll discover that there are in fact "easy" plants: house plants that are perfect for beginners because they aren't quite as "picky" as others about their environment and thrive with very little maintenance.
You'll be introduced to six "low-maintenance" house plants and learn exactly what to do to keep them happy.
You'll learn how to easily propagate these plants, meaning divide them so you can share them with friends or put them in multiple areas of your home. You'll also learn...
the most common reasons house plants die
what kind of light your plants need how to easily adjust the lighting to help them thrive
which high-maintenance house plants beginners may want to avoid
where to get plants free or cheap
what kinds of pots are best and why

Who this course is for:
- People with no house plant experience who have no idea where to begin
- People who have all but given up on house plants and think they may have a "black thumb"
- Anyone who wants to gain confidence in their ability to care for house plants
