We’re delighted to be included in the list. We also know a big part of our placement and success is due to you, our loyal readers. We’d like to thank you for reading the blog and the website and viewing us on our YouTube channel and liking us on Facebook!

At Healthy Houseplants, we’re looking forward to an exciting year sharing information about all of the great ways you can enhance your life and indoors with the beauty of houseplants. This year we’ll be talking a lot about the importance of lighting to houseplants. With the right lights—and there are great options today—you can grow just about anything indoors! 

Want to grow your own tasty fruit in your home like strawberries and citrus? No problem! With full-spectrum lighting and proper care, feeding and watering, you can bite into homegrown berries, citrus and much, much more. How about some indoor veggies? Like cucumbers and tomatoes. Or fresh, tasty herbs like basil, oregano and chives. 

If you love flowers, did you know that it’s possible to grow just about any flower indoors? Perk up your spirits by growing beauties like celosia, phlox and petunia. Seeing a gorgeous bloom when the weather is cold and dark is sure to make your day or even week. 

Stick with us and you’ll also have fun with our upcoming Indoor Fairy Garden Series. We’ll show you how to create a stunning fairy garden that will attract Thumbelina or Tinker Bell! Learn about the ideal plants to grow in your indoor fairy garden, as well as how to plant the garden and how to accessorize so that the fairies and their friends want to make themselves at home. 

Do you like to get out the tools when it comes to gardening projects? Stay tuned for our upcoming blog post on how to create a vertical planter out of a pallet.  

As usual, we’ll be offering you tons of info on the basics. Stop by to learn about how to divide your houseplants when they get a bit crowded, as well as how and when to air-layer large or tall plants that have outgrown their space.

Want to get really good at propagating your houseplants so you can save money and get duplicates of your favorite plants? We’ll be sharing with you a wide variety of techniques for making new plants from existing houseplants. Some of the tricks you’ll learn include how to grow new plants from stem-tip cuttings and leaf cuttings. 

We’re also going to be putting a lot of emphasis on raising plants from seed, including houseplant favorites like coleus. Above is some coleus that were planted from seed just 37 days ago in an AeroGarden Seed Starter Kit where you can plant any seeds your heart desires. My choice this time was the Coleus Rainbow Blend from Botanical Interests.   

That’s just a sampling of what you can look forward to in the days and weeks ahead here on HealthyHouseplants.com. We’re excited to share with you the unending joys of Gardening in the Great Indoors!
