Welcome to Plants For Pleasure!
I’m Susan, an indoor gardening enthusiast and the creator of this website. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience caring for houseplants, and I started Plants for Pleasure to share practical tips and insights.
Whether you’re just starting out or have plenty of experience, I hope you’ll find helpful advice, inspiration, and encouragement here.
My love for houseplants began over a decade ago when I decided to bring a touch of green into my home. Like many beginners, I faced challenges—overwatering, poor lighting, and plants that just wouldn’t thrive. But those struggles taught me valuable lessons. I learned how to understand my plants, work with their natural needs, and create an environment where they could flourish.
Today, my home is filled with a variety of plants, from resilient succulents to lush tropical palms. Each one has taught me something new, and caring for them has become a source of calm and joy.
“I grow plants for many reasons: to please my eye or to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow.”
David Hobson
