Why Most Home Gardens Fail (And What Actually Works)

plants don’t need more products, they need fewer mistakes.

Let’s be blunt:

Most home gardens don’t fail because people are lazy.

They fail because the system is broken.

Bad soil. Wrong advice. Overwatering. Chemical quick-fixes that damage roots instead of helping them.

Back to Roots started with a simple observation — plants don’t need more products, they need fewer mistakes.

Healthy gardening comes down to three things:

  1. Living soil
  2. Patience
  3. Consistency

Miss any one of these, and plants struggle.

That’s why Back to Roots focuses so much on soil health. Seeds matter, yes — but soil decides everything that follows. When the soil is alive, plants become surprisingly resilient.

If you’ve tried gardening before and quit, don’t blame yourself.

Blame poor inputs and confusing advice.

Start again. But start simpler.

Enhancing Your Living Space: 10 Top Indoor Plants for Air Quality and Style

Indoor air pollution is a significant concern because most people spend more than 90% of their lives inside, where pollutants can be 2 to 5 times more concentrated than outdoors. While mechanical systems like HEPA purifiers are faster at cleaning heavily polluted air, indoor plants offer a sustainable, cost-effective way to enhance your environment and psychological well-being. Here are 10 exceptional plants to consider for your indoor garden.

How do indoor plants help with room temperature and humidity?

Indoor plants help **increase and maintain relative humidity** through the natural processes of **transpiration** and the **evaporation of moisture from pot soil**. Studies have shown that rooms containing plants consistently exhibit **higher relative humidity levels** compared to plant-free environments. This increase in humidity is beneficial as it can **speed up the settlement of dust** and reduce the concentration of airborne particles. Regarding thermal conditions, research indicates that **room temperatures are generally lower** in spaces where houseplants are present. For instance, one study observed that mean room temperatures were **consistently higher when plants were absent** compared to when they were placed inside. By providing **adequate control of temperature and humidity**, plants contribute to a more comfortable indoor environment. This natural maintenance can potentially **reduce the reliance on energy-intensive climate control methods**. Certain species, such as the **Boston Fern**, are specifically highlighted for their effectiveness in increasing humidity in buildings.
