Houseplants · by Hugo Martin · 2026-10-02

My 8-month experiment with houseplants for absolute beginners

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Houseplants feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

The boring logistics are always the hidden part. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

I had the same reaction to make.
