Overwatering is one of the top mistakes for new plant owners, so be mindful of how much water your houseplant really needs.
“The best tip for any plant parent is to have a well-draining vessel to avoid root rot and keep the soil aerated,” advise Roy Paar and Milana Naumenko, co-owners of NYC-based plant shop Water and Light.
So if you don’t have the greenest thumb in town, you’re going to want to avoid some of the most fickle houseplants.
Also, there’s a prevailing misconception that succulents are tough to kill, “but they actually require lots of bright light and almost no water,” the shop owners explain.
That said, there are some resilient houseplants you might want to consider if your goal for the new year is to keep your green decor alive and well.
