Plant Finder: what helps your houseplant

Brew your own FRESH worm castings brew — then add whatever extras your plant needs. Search your plant below for when to brew, when it likes a little extra support, and simple water and light tips.

For pots, not cups. Some call it worm tea, not a drink.

Start light. Use a milder brew for calathea, ferns, orchids, and African violets. Succulents, snake plant, and ZZ: the brew now and then is plenty. If you add an extra, pick one made for your kind of plant and follow its label. Soft tips only. Your light, water, and pot still run the show. This is a free guide — there is nothing to buy here.
