    Understanding Natural Light Levels for Thriving Houseplants // Do You Have Bright Light, Bright Indirect Light or Low Light for Houseplants?
    Jul 9 2024
    You are likely overestimating how much light you have in your home for your houseplants, plant friends! Yes, it's a tough truth to swallow. In fact, the largest cause of houseplant death is a misunderstanding of light. That’s because our houseplants perceive light differently from us. Don’t worry, because I have your back. I've spent seven years learning about light and distilling everything I've learned into this one short episode to break down how you can confidently assess the natural light in your home and buy the correct plant that will do well in that environment.This episode is part of the Growing Joy with leafjoy mini series.

    Interior Design for Beginners // Interior Design Principles for Houseplant Lovers
    Jul 2 2024
    Plants just help liven up any space, that’s a fact. And I don't know if you know this, but I suck at interior design. It does not come naturally to me. I often overlook details—and interior design in general is about the details. I came to houseplants for the aesthetic because plants seem to be the common thread of all the design magazines, articles, and inspirations that I was reading as I was curating my apartment in New York City.And when you have a lot of houseplants, that can create a chaotic, cluttered interior. That's why I'm sitting down with interior design expert and my friend, Betsy Helmuth, the founder of Uploft Interior Design and the host of the Affordable Interior Design podcast to discuss some basic interior design principles that we can tailor specifically for houseplant lovers.In this episode, we learn:[04:21] What exactly is the focus of Betsy's Uploft Interior Design?[06:45] How to find your interior style[10:26] What are the most popular interior design styles?[14:01] Nature-based aesthetics you should keep our eyes out for[15:25] Give the gift of peace and beauty this summer with a personalized Wind River Chime![17:00] Grow happier houseplants with Espoma Organic's high quality gardening products![20:37] How do you blend two different interior design styles using a 'two-word phrase' approach?[27:54] Why choosing an inspiration piece is important[29:02] How to choose the right color palettes[33:18] Styling with plants and pots[34:59] What is the 60-30-10 rule?[39:32] Other rules and guidelines for starting interior design projects[43:03] How plant placement affects interior design choices[46:19] What are the common mistakes people make with art/wall decor?[48:45] Tips for people who are scared to get art[50:54] Innovative planter solutions[53:06] What can you do in the bedroom to make it cozy?[58:43] Where can you find Betsy on social media?Mentioned in our conversation:Affordable Interior Design: High-End Tips for Any Budget by Betsy HelmuthApartment TherapyHouzzWest ElmPottery BarnWorld MarketAptDecoJustina Blakeney (@justinablakeney)The New Bohemians by Justina BlakeneyEco Wall Planters by WallyGrowFor Betsy's expert tips on easy and affordable home decor,check out the full show notes and blog here!Follow Betsy:WebsitePodcastCourseYouTubeFacebookInstagramThank you to our episode sponsors:Wind River ChimesVisit windriverchimes.com and use code GROWINGJOY to receive free engraving on your chosen wind chimes.Espoma OrganicVisit espoma.com to find your local Espoma dealer or check my Amazon storefront.Follow Maria and Growing Joy:Order my book: Growing Joy: The Plant Lover's Guide to Cultivating Happiness (and Plants) by Maria Failla, Illustrated by Samantha LeungJoin the Bloom and Grow Garden Party Community Platform & App AKA the plantiest and kindest corner of the internet!
