EnglishWhat is OurHouseplants and what can you find on the site?
Updated
OurHouseplants is a houseplant information site for indoor gardeners, offering care guides, plant profiles, and answers to common growing questions. It is aimed at both beginners and experienced growers who want practical help getting indoor plants to thrive. The site says its content is free to browse, and it is organized around four main areas: plant profiles, growing guides, questions, and video content.
Who runs the site
The site is run by Tom Knight, who describes having over two decades of hands-on houseplant experience, supported by a team with almost 50 years of combined experience. OurHouseplants states it has been online for 13 years and has helped millions of visitors.
What content is available
The site groups its material into several sections, each serving a different purpose.
| Section | What it covers | Stated scale |
|---|---|---|
| Plant Profiles | Detailed care information, photos, and owner comments for individual houseplants | 105 profiles |
| Guides | General indoor growing topics such as pests and propagation | 39 guides |
| Questions | Investigated answers to common houseplant questions | 36 questions |
| YouTube | Visual houseplant care tips and experiences | — |
Plant Profiles
Each profile is built around the author's growing experience and includes care instructions, problem solutions, and photography. Profiles also carry comments from other plant owners, and you can ask your own questions there. This is the section to use when you want to understand one specific plant.
Guides
The guides cover broader indoor growing skills rather than single plants. Topics include dealing with pests and learning how to propagate, among others. Use this section when your question is about a technique or a problem rather than a particular species.
Questions
This section collects questions the site has investigated over the years, such as whether you should water with ice cubes, whether top or bottom watering is better, and whether music makes plants grow faster. It suits curious readers who want an answer to a specific common debate.
Video content
OurHouseplants also runs a YouTube channel for people who prefer learning visually, with tips and experiences shared on camera.
How to use the site
- If you already know which plant you have, start with the Plant Profiles section.
- If you need help with a technique or a pest problem, go to the Guides section.
- If you have a specific common question, check the Questions section first.
- If you prefer watching rather than reading, use the YouTube channel.
The site also lists recently added or updated articles, so you can see what is new before browsing further.
