Plant lifeSee a sample

The only plant guide that starts from your home.

Made for busy parents and pet owners with a home and no plant experience. It sells no plants, so every pick is chosen for you, not for a shop's stock.

(No plant experience needed. Nothing to sign up for.)

Sample answers, not a real household

Start with the room, not the shelf.

A short, honest match built from four things about your life: how much light your rooms get, how much time you really have, whether kids or pets share the house, and how you want the space to feel.

What does it cost? Nothing, and there is nothing to sign up for.

The plant match and its basic care plan are free. Because Plant life sells no plants, there is no stock to push and no basket to fill.

How does a match come together?

1. Start with the light

Which rooms get sun, which sit in shade, and where the windows really are. A plant lives or fades on light, so it comes first.

2. Count the time and the household

How many minutes a week you will honestly spend, and whether kids or pets share the space. No guilt either way: the match fits your week, not the other way round.

3. Name the feel

Calm, leafy, bright or tidy. Then a short match comes back with a basic care plan for each pick.

What does a match look like?

Here is a made-up family and the short answer they would get: three picks, each with a plain care note. It shows the format. It is not a real household.

Sample match

A family with a toddler and a dog, and 10 minutes a week

  • Living room, bright window

    Spider plant

    Hang it up high, out of small hands and paws. Water when the top of the soil feels dry.

  • Hallway, not much light

    Cast iron plant

    Happy in dim corners and forgiving if a week gets away from you.

  • Bedroom, soft light

    Parlor palm

    A calm, feathery shape. A drink every week or so.
