FROM THE NOTEBOOK
Materials, everyday rituals and the small things worth noticing.
Before you choose a plant
Notice where light falls during the day and whether the spot becomes very hot. A few observations are more useful than choosing a plant only for its appearance.
Match the plant to the actual light and temperature of the space. Follow species-specific growing instructions.

A growing notebook
Record when you water, where a pot sits and when new leaves appear. A simple dated note can help you spot changes without turning care into a complicated routine.
Water needs vary with the plant, pot and season. Check the growing medium rather than following a fixed calendar blindly.
