Hello folks! I just started this hobbie a couple weeks ago due to my girlfriend bringing a beautiful pothos home, now i have 22 different indoor plants 🤭. I’d appreciate any advice you guys have for a beginner like me. Thank you in advance! God bless you!

Lots of light and bright spaces for them! Most of those plants like to completely dry out before watering! Assume you have a good quality fertiliser ✨ bottom feeding/ watering will help with any gnats you may see flying around the house. Last but not least assure you have the right soils when reporting, drainage is key 🪴 happy growing!

One thing about owning a lot of house plants, is there’s an inevitable risk of pests, whenever you water your plants always check the leaves and stems, I’d look into the most common pests and what their damage looks like, because before I just thought mine had weird cosmetic damage and nope they had thirps so be careful, also another thing is fungal and bacterial infection I’d also look into them so you can identify them :)
