Hi Plant Parents! I’m giving houseplant care another shot and I recently ordered the following starter plants: Calathea Ornata Philodendron Dark Form Gloriosum String of Coins Calathea Fasciata “rotundifolia” Tradescantia Nanouk “Wandering Jew/Dude” Philodendron Prince of Orange My question: While I wait for my plants to arrive, I want to set up a space for them. I'm looking for advice on plant stands, hanging pots/shelves, grow lights, and humidifiers. Any recommendations or tips on these, as well as other essentials like soil mix, pest treatments, and tools, would be much appreciated! I've done some research but would love to hear your suggestions, especially if you have photos or videos for inspiration. A bit more context: I’m in Northern Colorado, where it's quite dry with limited humidity, especially in winter. The plants will mainly be in my bedroom, which has two large south-facing windows with indirect light. They can also spend some time on my south-facing, indirect light balcony during the summer. I don’t have any windows in my bathroom but I’ve heard that some plants do well in bathrooms. I have a cat who has shown some interest in plants in the past, so I need keep most of these out of her reach. She's not a big jumper or climber but could get curious if plants are within her reach. I’d love any tips or advice as I dive into this new ish hobby! I know I’ve chosen some not-so-beginner-friendly plants, but I'm excited to learn. Thanks in advance!
