Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I start on Kultivy?

Start with the featured guides above. If you tend to kill plants, begin with the Easy Houseplants guide and pick a hard-to-kill plant. If you want a statement plant, the Monstera Care guide walks you through light, water, and getting the leaves to split. The Plant Shelf and Corner Ideas guide is the place to go once you want to style what you have.

Who writes Kultivy?

Mara Quinn writes and edits every guide. Mara writes from years of keeping (and, honestly, killing) houseplants, and each guide is researched, illustrated, and reviewed for accuracy and real-world usefulness before it publishes.

How often do new guides go live?

New guides publish regularly. As of September 2026, 78 in-depth, image-led houseplant guides are live, covering single-plant care, plant styling, and easy beginner plants, with new guides added on an ongoing basis.

I keep killing my houseplants. Where do I begin?

Start with the Easy Houseplants guide and choose a forgiving, hard-to-kill plant like a pothos, snake plant, or ZZ plant. Then match it to the light you actually have and water on the dry side, since overwatering kills more houseplants than anything else.

Can I save these to Pinterest?

Yes. Every guide has a vertical Pinterest pin you can save, and the images are built to look great on a Pinterest board. Follow @Kultivy on Pinterest to see new pins as guides publish.
