Most-asked plants

The names people look up most often, out of the 166 in the A-Z.

How this A-Z works

  1. One letter, one list. Every plant sits under the first letter of its common name. No categories to guess, and no plant filed in two places.
  2. Facts first, essay later. Light, water, toxicity and size are visible on the list. The full care guide is one click away, not spread over three pages.
  3. Toxicity checked, not guessed. Pet safety on every plant page is checked against the ASPCA plant lists before the page goes live.

What every plant page gives you

Light requirements, watering, soil, feeding, temperature and humidity, what to expect, and the varieties and cultivars worth looking for.

New to house plants?

  1. Go by light, not by looks. Watch where the plant will live for a day. Direct sun on the leaves, or none at all, rules out more plants than anything else.
  2. Water when the top of the soil is dry. Most house plants die of kindness. Check with a finger before you pour, and always let the pot drain.
  3. Match the plant to the room. North-facing and dim corners suit low-light plants; pets at home mean starting with the pet-safe names.

Questions people ask

How many indoor plants are listed here?

166 plants, filed under the 26 letters of the alphabet.

What if a letter has no plants in it?

Every letter has at least one plant, and any letter that empties stays live.

Are the pet-safety facts reliable?

Toxicity is checked against the ASPCA toxic and non-toxic plant lists. Those cover cats, dogs and horses, not birds or reptiles, so a vet is the right call for anything else.

Where do the care facts come from?

Light, water and soil notes describe how a species behaves indoors. Each plant page shows the date its care data was last checked.
