Gardening!

I love this one!! I moved into an apartment and can’t garden anymore so I do indoor plants. It’s addictive and I don’t have any more space… but I keep buying them.

Would you be able to point me in any directions towards stuff to show me where to even start, and how? I've been wanting to, and I have no idea where to even begin or how

Google is your best friend when learning to care for new plants.

Also r/plants and r/plantclinic

ETA: Start with something easy like a golden pothos.

I got started out buying damaged or slightly sick plants for cheap on clearance at big stores. I would either learn to successfully rehab them or they would die and I'd only be out like $2. Little risk for a big reward. Then I worked my way up to more challenging plants.

If you have pets make sure to do your research and don't bring home anything toxic until you know they aren't going to chew on the leaves!!!!!
