How I care for 200+ plants (without the chaos)
Quick heads up: I’m super excited to announce a brand new program that I’ve been building these last couple of months. Keep reading for more info!
Over the last couple of months, I’ve been quietly working on something new.
A complete system for houseplant care — the same one I use behind the scenes to look after my ever-growing jungle (which now clocks in at well over 200 plants).
And it got me thinking…
What does your houseplant care routine look like?
Do you use your own system? Are you winging it week to week? (Let me know by replying to this email).
No shame either way. I’ve been on both sides. But once your collection grows past 10 plants, trust me: flying by the seat of your pants starts to get stressful.
Now, let’s talk about something…
Most houseplant education online is good at one thing:
Telling you what to do.
What lighting a plant needs.
What soil to use.
How to water a Peace Lily.
And that’s all really helpful. After all, that’s what I spend a lot of time talking about in my own vids.
But almost nobody is talking about how to make all of this work in real life.
Not in theory — in your actual home, with 37 plants spread across 5 windowsills and a job that keeps you out till 6pm.
Where’s the advice on how to implement that knowledge on a daily basis?
That’s what I’ve been missing.
And if you’ve ever found yourself Googling “why is my plant dying” at midnight despite reading 6 articles on watering last week… you’ve been missing it too.
That’s why I built a system — something practical, repeatable, and easy to follow especially when life gets busy.
Why does a plant care system even matter?
Because the longer you own plants, the more complex things get.
With one or two plants, it’s easy to remember who needs what. But with 10? Or 20? Or 50?
Suddenly, you're dealing with:
- Leaf drop that might be root rot… or just dry air
- A peace lily that needs watering, but you're already late for work
- A mystery brown patch that appeared after you just watered it yesterday
That’s when the fun starts to fade.
But a simple system — something that works in the background of your life — brings it back.
It puts you in control.
How to build your own system
Start with these three questions:
- How often do you check your plants?
Pick a rhythm. Weekly? Fortnightly? Consistency matters more than frequency.
- What are you looking for when you check in?
Think: soil moisture, leaf colour, pests, pot weight, new growth. You don’t need a checklist. Just know your signs.
- What do you do when something’s off?
This is the part where most people panic. A system gives you a calm, repeatable process.
You can build this yourself.
But if you’d like a head start…
My first new program in over 1 year. It’s a full system I use, start to finish, to care for 200+ houseplants without spreadsheets, stress, or forgetting what I watered last week.
I’ve spent years testing and tweaking this behind the scenes.
Now, for the first time, I’ve packaged it into a step-by-step framework anyone can use, whether you’ve got 10 plants or 100.
- 5 simple steps
- 6 in-depth video modules + printable checklists
- Designed for people with an existing plant collection
- Works with any types of plants
- Just $47 for my newsletter subscribers ($97 next week)
