Our Roots
Simple Plant Guide started with a small group of friends in the Midwest trying to keep basic houseplants alive through freezing winters and humid summers. As we traded cuttings and shared advice, we noticed a common problem: most online gardening information was either overwhelmingly scientific or entirely disconnected from the reality of a normal, busy schedule. We built this platform to cut through the complex jargon and provide straightforward, tested advice for everyday plant care.
Who We Are
We are a team of hobbyist gardeners, indoor plant enthusiasts, and weekend landscapers. We do not claim to be master botanists, and we certainly do not have a magical formula for a perfect, pest-free garden. Instead, we rely on trial, error, and shared experience. We document what actually works in our own homes and backyards, sharing practical routines that anyone can manage without needing a degree in horticulture.
Our Mission
Our goal is simple: to help you keep your plants healthy without the stress. We focus on realistic care schedules, accessible tools, and honest expectations. Whether you need to figure out why your pothos leaves are turning yellow or want to start a modest vegetable patch, we aim to provide clear, actionable steps that fit into your actual life.
Who We Serve
Our guides are specifically tailored to the diverse growing conditions across the United States. Whether you are trying to keep a resilient snake plant thriving in a dimly lit New York apartment or figuring out the most effective watering schedule for a raised bed in the Texas heat, our content is designed for everyday American climates and everyday people.
