Are Your Houselants Happy?
Succulents: Low-Maintenance, High Impact
Succulents like coontie, agave, yucca, and native sedums are drought-tolerant and love Florida’s sun-soaked days.
Care Tips:
Use well-draining soil (sandy or cactus mix).
Water sparingly—let the soil dry out between watering.
Keep in partial to full sun, depending on the species.
Protect from overwatering during Florida’s rainy season.

Indoor Plants: Bringing Florida’s Greenery Inside
Many native plants also make beautiful, air-purifying houseplants, like ferns, philodendrons, and snake plants.
Care Tips:
Bright, indirect light is best for most Florida-friendly indoor plants.
Water when the top inch of soil is dry.
Avoid placing near AC vents or direct sunlight through windows.
Dust leaves occasionally to keep them breathing easy.
Outdoor Plants: Garden-Ready and Climate-Proof
Native outdoor plants like firebush, beautyberry, Simpson’s stopper, and coreopsis are favorites for low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly landscaping.
Care Tips:
Choose the right plant for your sun/shade conditions.
Mulch around the base to retain moisture and reduce weeds.
Prune lightly to shape and encourage healthy growth.
Water deeply but infrequently once established.
