My journey into plant parenthood has come with some hard-learned lessons. Though I dream of a lush backyard garden I could host cocktail parties in, I’m currently in a small apartment in an urban area, with no outdoor space. But as part of my love for biophilic design, I love filling my home with vibrant tropical plants, herbs, and veggies. And I’ve built up an arsenal of tools that let them thrive, even out of their natural habitat.
Great gardening tools, accessories, and supplements can help even the most finicky plant thrive indoors (hello, Fiddle Leaf Fig lovers). And I love to share the plant knowledge I’ve gained, so consider this your masterclass for lush plants in any small space. Below, you’ll find everything I trust for indoor and windowsill gardening. Water and sunlight go a long way, but you can’t stop there. A few of my plant essentials you likely have lying around the house already. A pair of needle-nose tweezers is great for getting the debris and dead plant matter out of your plant without harming the other stems, and a little bit of rubbing alcohol, vinegar, and water is all you need to treat any mold or fungus.

Every decision matters, from your soil mix to the supplements you put in your watering can. Even the height of your plants in the window makes a difference. If your plants can’t see the sky, they’re not getting what they need, so the display area is crucial. I’ve had to deal with spider mite infestations, brittle leaves, transplant shock, and other major plant problems, and I’ve survived it all with the tools below.
I’ve tested different soil mixes, fertilizers, and planter pots for months to find my tried-and-true picks. My wish for you? That you get the good stuff on the first try. Scroll on for my favorite soil amendments, gardening tools, and special sprays. It’s everything that makes gardening and plant ownership in a small city apartment feel wonderful.
