Let's Grow Together.

I'm Amy, a proud owner of 200+ indoor and outdoor plants and I'm here to help you grow, care for, and propagate your green friends!

Over the years, I've grown (and killed - oops!) hundreds of plants, fruits, vegetables, and more.

I went from having zero plant parenting experience to learning all the tricks.

Because I owe most of my success to the blog articles I used to read, I decided to create my own blog to share everything I've learned (spoiler alert: it's a lot!).

If you're an avid plant parent, beginner propagator, vegetable-growing enthusiast, or just own a couple of plants, you'll find something helpful here.

Let's get growing!
