Now before you get too excited about your potted (or hanging) friends, we want to emphasize the importance of plant care, which is why we’re sharing some of our quick tips to keeping your indoor plants just as happy as you are!   Lighting Lighting is key when it comes to making sure your plants can thrive beautifully. In fact, most plants grow best in bright, indirect sunlight – minus the few outliers like succulents, which do best in bright and direct light.
