Must-Have Indoor Houseplant Supplies

I have been collecting houseplants so I thought I would share some of my favorite must-have indoor houseplant supplies so you can be super successful.

You can check out some of my other houseplant posts like my top underrated plants here and my houseplant setup here.

Levoit Humidifier

I absolutely LOVE this Grow Light. I’ve tried some cheaper ones in the past and they just never came close to the Levoit. You can control the humidity you want to be maintained in the room, the amount of mist it creates, if it’s cool mist or warm mist, the direction of the mist, and put it all on a timer. At 6.7 liters this thing stays full for a long time. It is extremely easy to clean and even has a handle on the top of the water chamber so you can easily refill it. When getting the link for this I did find that they now have a top fill version (linked here) that can be controlled through your phone. I love this option but it doesn’t have the warm mist option which I prefer. Either way, if you live in a dry climate or want some more rare houseplants a humidifier is a must and your plants will thrive.

Vivosun waterproof heat mat

A heat mat is an absolute must if you’ve become addicted to propagating all your plants. This mat creates a nice even heat to promote new growth in your starts. It won’t damage any surface it is on either. I have had this on the carpet, wood, and laminate floors with no problems.

Mosthink Growlights

If you have an area where you’d love to put a plant but there’s not enough sunlight, no problem. Add these Mosthink grow lights! I love these grow lights because they are very discreet, have multiple levels of white light, and have a timer. They come with a sticky backing but I put mine up with command strips so they can be easily removed. I also have Feit lights. They are bulkier and I love them but can’t find them on Amazon so I will link the large size here. I love that they can link together so you don’t have pesky cords everywhere.

Shop the Post

Soltech Solutions Aspect Pendant

I don’t have this Grow Light YET. Once we have a house I will definitely be purchasing one of their beautiful pendants grow lights. These are a little more on the pricy side but if you look at the cost of a grow bulb along with the cost of a beautiful hanging light it’s basically the same cost. This can be a beautiful statement piece in your home that is programable and energy-efficient.

Tool Gadget Soil Scoop

These soil scoopers things are a game-changer for repotting your house plants. It makes getting dirt in all the crevices so easy and way less messy.

Grovee Hygrometer

This hygrometer is awesome. It provides real-time data on the temperature and humidity in a room and links all the data directly to your phone. Humidity can be a game-changer if you are trying to up your houseplant game so knowing what your humidity is is really important.

Vivosun Soil Moisture Meter

A soil moister meter is a must, especially if you are overwatering. Most houseplants like to dry out in between watering so this meter will tell you how dry your plant is. It is especially great for large plants that you can’t feel deep in the soil.

Wash Bottles

These wash bottles are great to have on hand for watering small plans, keeping moss poles moist, target watering, and also wetting things you have growing in sphagnum moss.

Potting Mat

I live in an apartment and previously I was using a blanket to repot plants. It worked but I still got dirt everywhere and then had to wash a blanket. Once I found this potting mat I had to get it. The sides snap up and create the perfect border but the material is also soft enough that it easily folds to pour dirt back into your bins. It folds up super small and is easily stored. There are tons of these out there and really pretty ones but I just wanted something cheap.

Ikea Sortera Recycling Bin

I love Ikea Sortera recycling bins for mixing and storing my soil. Plus it is stackable!
