Plant subscription box FAQs
Are monthly plant subscription boxes worth it?
We think so. It will take the hassle out of trying to transport your new plant babies home without spilling soil in the boot. Also, it will help you pick which plants will work for your home, as everything will be sorted for you by the plant experts.
It's a great way to gradually introduce a new green oasis to your home, especially if you're new to the indoor plant world. A subscription saves you the time and effort it would take to go to the garden centre. You can see exactly what's available from the comfort of your home with all the guidance and tips you need, without a wasted journey or disappointment.
Plus, who doesn't love a monthly delivery? It's exciting, will last well with the right care, and will bring you plenty of joy, clean air, and even help you concentrate. Plants definitely have their perks.
How do you take care of houseplants?
With your plant subscription, you'll likely receive care tips from the service to help you care for your monthly plant. However, if you're still unsure or have got a houseplant of your own, you'll need to check the water, sunlight, and the best position to help your bud thrive.
Plant expert Claire Ransom, founder of plant subscription box Lazy Flora shares her advice for helping your house plants flourish.
Natural conditions
“Firstly, you should always learn a bit about where a plant comes from and what conditions it grows in the wild," says Claire. “If you can find this out, the easiest way to ensure a plant will survive in your home is by recreating these natural conditions to the best of your ability.
"For example, a fern grows well in a cool, shady spot beside water sources in the wild. You can use that information to create an environment and watering schedule that best mimics that environment.

“It might be tempting to want to be surrounded by a Bird of Paradise or hibiscus flowers in your home. However, unless you have a very sunny conservatory or south-facing window (not to mention a lot of patience), you might have to be prepared to accept that dark, cool conditions just aren't going to be ideal for those plants."
Watering
“I would say that learning the individual watering needs of each plant is the best way to ensure success. So for most people, acquiring one or two plants at a time is probably a good number. Rather than going crazy and buying lots all together that you haven't grown before, and then feeling overwhelmed when you can't cope with the varied watering requirements.”
Soil
"What type of soil you use is also another key factor in caring for your plants. Our advice? Use a good form of potting soil that has a good mixture of minerals that your plant will need."
Which house plants are easiest to take care of in the UK?
A succulent, spider plant, Zamioculcas Zamiifolia (ZZ plant), aloe vera, or a cactus, are all very low-maintenance plants. They're a great choice for first-time plant parents or those with difficult plant-living conditions i.e. rooms with limited lighting.
That means if you're quite forgetful, your new additions won't suffer if don't happen to water them enough.
What are the benefits of houseplants?
As well as providing us with something pretty to look at, there are many benefits to draw from different plants; multiple studies have proven their ability to purify the air, increase concentration and uplift spirits when spending time inside.
Some of these benefits include; helping to maintain respiratory health; minimise headaches; lower stress and anxiety; boost recovery and healing; enhance concentration and productivity; improve mood and help combat fatigue. Working with plants can be therapeutic and being closer to nature is kind for your mind!
What are the most popular houseplants?
If you're new to plant parenting, take a look at the most popular houseplants filling people's homes. These favourites flourish indoors:
Chinese money plant
Spider plant
Peace lily
Succulents
Aloe Vera
Cactus
Snake plant
Lucky bamboo
How long can houseplants live?
Houseplants can live anywhere between two to five years. This depends on the type of plant you own, as well as how committed you are to their care. After that, plants tend to stop thriving and it's best to invest in another plant.
