About us

👩‍🌾 Meet the Founder – Liana Greenwood

I’m Liana Greenwood, the founder and lead writer of Your Indoor Plant. For more than a decade I’ve been learning, experimenting, and sometimes failing with houseplants in real homes — from sun-starved apartments to grow-light setups.

What began with a single rescued pothos has grown into a passion for understanding how different plants respond to light, water, soil, and humidity. Every guide on this site comes from two things: my own hands-on trials and careful research from trusted horticultural sources.

🌱 Our Mission

At Your Indoor Plant, our mission is simple:
Help you grow indoor plants with confidence, clarity, and care.

We believe plant care isn’t just a hobby — it’s a daily practice that can improve wellness, bring calm, and connect us to nature indoors.

🌍 Why Trust Your Indoor Plant?

We align with Google’s E-E-A-T framework: Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness.

✅ Real Experience

Every guide is shaped by years of trial and error with common and uncommon houseplants. I keep notes on watering schedules, soil blends, propagation attempts, and plant rescues — so you learn from lived experience, not just theory.

🧪 Evidence-Based Content

Alongside my own logs and experiments, I cross-check information with university extension programs, horticultural research, and reputable plant care institutions. You’ll always find sources listed or linked at the end of guides.

🌟 Transparent Editorial Process

Each article is updated regularly as I re-test methods or new research emerges. When we recommend a product (humidifiers, grow lights, soil mixes), it’s because we’ve actually tried it and documented the results.

🔒 Honest & Ad-Clear

We disclose affiliate partnerships openly and keep reviews unbiased. No sponsored fluff, no clickbait — just honest evaluations that serve your plants first.
