Lighting 101: Understanding Light for Thriving Houseplants

Light is the single most important factor in keeping your houseplants healthy, yet it's also the most misunderstood. Labels like "bright indirect light" leave many plant owners guessing, leading to slow growth, yellow leaves, or plants that simply never thrive.

In this practical workshop, Bryan will simplify lighting once and for all. Learn how to evaluate the light in your own home, match plants to the right locations, and understand why some plants flourish while others struggle just a few feet away.

Whether you're just getting started or you've collected dozens of plants, you'll leave knowing exactly where every plant in your home belongs.
