About Leaf and Loam

Houseplant know-how for real homes. We cover watering, light, repotting, propagation, and the pests that show up uninvited, with guides written for the plant on your windowsill, not a greenhouse.

Leaf and Loam is an independent resource focused on houseplants and indoor gardening how-tos. We publish practical, carefully researched guides for readers who want clear answers without the fluff — whether you are just getting started or looking to sharpen what you already know.

What we do

Every article is written and edited to be genuinely useful: accurate, easy to follow, and grounded in real-world experience. We cover topics across Plant Care, Propagation, Plant Profiles, Pests & Problems, Indoor Setup, Styling & Display and update our guides as best practices evolve. We are not affiliated with any of the brands, products, or organizations we may reference; mentions are for the reader's benefit, not an endorsement.

Who writes Leaf and Loam

Leaf and Loam is written by June Hartley. June keeps a small jungle of houseplants alive in a low-light apartment and writes about what actually works when the care tag lets you down.

Editorial standards & disclaimer

Leaf and Loam is an independent houseplant resource. Our guides are researched and written in-house; we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any nursery, brand, or retailer we mention. Everything here is general information to help you care for your plants, not professional horticultural advice. Some houseplants are toxic to people and pets, so check a plant's safety before bringing it home and keep anything questionable out of reach.

Our content is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute professional advice. Always use your own judgment and consult a qualified professional where appropriate.
