Buying plants and actually keeping them alive are two different hobbies, and no one knows this better than Samantha Hermann. She’s been trying to take the best possible care of her houseplants for years, and she’s sharing all the knowledge she gathered under the moniker House + Plant.
Hermann is a social media creator from Omaha, Nebraska, and she owes her 670,000 Instagram followers to her amazing plant care tips and tricks. She took care of over 200 houseplants over the course of the past decade and learned everything she knows today through extensive trial and error.
Hermann’s love for plants was sparked by her mother who gifted her a little golden pothos when she went off to college, which changed many different homes and environments over the years, growing and thriving by her side.
“I love plants and nature. The women in my family have always tended gardens and their own houseplants. I’ve learned a lot from them over the years. I’m excited to use this creative outlet to help others on their own plant journey,” she wrote on her official website.
Hermann knows how frustrating plant parenthood can be, and she wants to help other people handle it with ease. In addition to regularly sharing her tips and tricks on Instagram, she also offers consultation and sells useful supplies that helped her take better care of her plants in the past.
