Houseplants: Methods and Materials to Create a Green Indoor Space 

Interested in getting started with houseplants? Feeling like all your houseplants die but you don’t know why? Envious of those with lush indoor gardens?  

Light, soil, containers, fertilizers, watering, and pest control all contribute to success with houseplants but can feel overwhelming when starting out. Some houseplants can handle indoor conditions easier than others. Join Durham County Extension Master Gardener Rita Mohanty for an introduction to houseplants! Houseplants add color, texture and warmth to indoor spaces. Learn how to grow and maintain indoor plants to improve the aesthetics and wellness of your indoor space!
