Gardening is a great hobby and infact the best stress-reliever!  Many of us start gardening with lot of interest, but very few continue with it. One of the many reasons is FAILURE, because of lack of knowledge on how to grow and care a particular plant.  Not all plants are created equal, and each plant has its own requirement of water, sunlight, soil and fertilizer.  That is why houseplant identification is so important.

In this post we will try to simplify plant identification and will make an attempt to classify and identify about 100 common house plants and quickly know their important care tips – like watering and sunlight requirement. Of course these requirements vary depending on the zone you live in.  Please watch each of the plants carefully for identification whether or not you possess them, because this knowledge will certainly help you when you visit a plant nursery to purchase a plant.
We will try to make this post as short and concise as possible along with a video at the end for you to identify common house plants easily. And you can find detailed videos and articles on most of these plants on website.
