A Gardener's Cheat Sheet To Bloomscape's Spring Plant Sale
As growing season approaches, it's time to prepare your houseplants to thrive as they come out of a stagnant winter. Immediately following Daylight Savings is the best time to repot plants that might've outgrown their current pot, or introduce a new plant to your home. And if you've been waiting to get started on a plant collection, now's the time to welcome your new roommate. That's where Bloomscape comes in. The online gardening store known for delivering consistently healthy plants is having a sitewide sale with code BDAY15 (it's their fifth anniversary!) now through March 21.
The sale includes something for all plant lovers, whether you've never potted a plant or you have a certified green thumb. Our favorite variety, the sale includes tropical plants that will purify your air and give your home that indoor jungle feel. If you've been trying to grow a plant collection but lack natural light, several low-light indoor plants are included as well. Live in a dry climate? Opt for a cactus that will thrive without humidity. You can even save on succulents that require very little watering, if you find yourself forgetting to water or aren't home often enough to maintain a regular plant care routine.
With so many plants for sale online, Bloomscape stands out for its careful packaging to avoid breakage and custom soil mixes so your plants arrive at your door primed for growth with little work on your part. To help you take advantage of the sale just in time for growing season, I've highlighted a few of our favorite plants and care instructions so you can decide which plant is best for you.

Two plants for the price of one, this fast growing set includes a philodendron heartleaf and a neon prayer plant.
