🌞 Light, Water, and Soil 101

"Easy vibes, healthy plants, one love."

Welcome to the basics, friend. Whether you’re growing your first little jungle or just vibin’ with a few leafy homies on your windowsill, it all starts with understanding the big three: Light, Water, and Soil.

☀️ Light:

Plants are like people, ya know? Some wanna chill in the shade, some wanna soak up the sunshine like it’s a beach day every day.

• Bright, indirect light is the sweet spot for most houseplants — think sunlight filtered through a thin curtain or bouncing off a wall.

• Direct sun can be too spicy for tender leaves, like a sunburn at a reggae festival.

• Low light? No worries. Some plants are happy with just a little glow, like late afternoon by the ocean.

Find the vibe your plant is feelin', and you'll see it shine.

💧 Water:

Overwatering is the number one way beginners break their new plant friendships.

• Rule of thumb: Let the top inch or two of soil dry out before watering again. Stick your finger in there — if it feels dry, it's time for a drink.

• Less is more, especially if your plant is chillin’ in cooler temps or lower light.

• Picture it like a sweet rainstorm — deep, soaking drinks, but only when the plant really needs it. Not little sprinkles all the time.

🌱 Soil:

Good soil is the rhythm section of your plant’s band — it sets the beat for everything else.

• You want soil that drains easy but still holds a little love (aka moisture).

• Think loose, airy mixes with a little perlite, bark, or coco coir mixed in — not heavy, muddy stuff.

• Different plants like different blends, but if it feels light and smells earthy (not swampy), you’re already jammin’.

🌴 Take it easy, go with the flow, and trust your green instincts. Plants don’t need perfect — they just need some good vibes, a little patience, and someone who cares. 🌿✨
