It’s no secret that we love plants, like, really LOVE them. Our office is filled with them and so are our homes. We exchange seeds and leaf clippings, share treats from our gardens, trade tips, and rant about the goddamned rats always eating all the tomatoes.

We’ve learned a lot over the years, and we wanted to share the two most important tools we use to keep our little green friends alive and thriving: Food + Water.

It’s important to keep your plants watered, but overwatering can be the biggest killer of your indoor plants. We like to refer to it as ‘loving them to death.’ Regular watering, generally once per week on the same day and same time, helps plants thrive. Humans aren’t the only ones who like to be on a set schedule.
