How to choose
1
Fix the biggest problem
Most houseplants die from wrong watering. Self-watering pots or a moisture meter solve that.
2
Light in winter
Dark winter months are hard on plants. A grow light helps most in north-facing rooms.
3
Measure before you buy
For stands and hangers, check ceiling hooks, window space and pot sizes first.
