Indoor Plant Educator • Houseplant Collector • Founder of My Plant Factor
Hi, I’m Heather—the face behind My Plant Factor and the caretaker of over 90 houseplants thriving in my sunny little apartment for over ten years. What started as a curiosity with a $4 pothos from a local market quickly turned into a leafy obsession that’s taken over my home (and my heart).
The Journey Begins
Like many people, I bought my first plant hoping to liven up a bland rental. I didn’t expect it to spark a decade-long journey into soil types, light levels, and the secrets of monsteras, hoyas, and fussy calatheas. I’m 100% self-taught—no formal training, just years of trial, error, and plant forum deep-dives.
Why “My Plant Factor”?
I launched this site to help other plant lovers avoid the mistakes I made early on—like overwatering ferns (guilty) or ignoring humidity for tropicals (big mistake). Whether you’re learning to spot spider mites or figuring out the right light for a ZZ plant, I’m here to share practical, proven advice.
Every article I write is backed by hands-on experience, hours of research, and community insights from other green thumbs I chat with on Reddit, Facebook, and plant forums.
In the hustle and bustle of daily life, I found solace in the calming presence of my green companions. Houseplants not only add aesthetic appeal to any room but also contribute to a healthier living environment. As I delved deeper into the world of indoor gardening, I discovered the numerous benefits these botanical wonders offer – from improved air quality to enhanced well-being.
