Editorial Policy

☕ 3 min read·612 words

I started this site after wasting hundreds of dollars on "expert-recommended" snake plant fertilizers that turned out to be nothing more than overpriced water with a fancy label—heartbreaking, considering my mom’s old snake plant was the first green thing I ever kept alive. That’s why this editorial independence policy matters so deeply to me: I never want another plant parent to feel tricked into buying something that won’t help their leafy friends thrive, and I want this space to be a community where you can always trust that our advice comes from love and experience, not a brand’s paycheck. When you read our guides, you’re getting the same tips I give my sister when her pothos starts drooping—no fine print, no hidden agendas, just fellow plant people looking out for each other.

Our Promise

Indoor Plant Guide is committed to accurate, honest, helpful content. Every article is reviewed by Tom before publication. We do not publish unverified claims, clickbait, or AI-generated content without expert review.

Editorial Principles

1. Accuracy First
We cite primary sources (CDC, NIH, SEC, USDA, manufacturer specs, peer-reviewed studies) and link to them inline. Every statistic has a source.

2. Real Testing
Products are tested in real conditions when possible. We disclose how we test, who tests, and any limitations.

3. No Sponsored Content (Without Disclosure)
We do not accept paid placements that influence our reviews. If a piece is sponsored, we label it clearly at the top of the article.

4. Affiliate Disclosure
We earn commissions from affiliate links (Amazon, etc.) and disclose this on every page. Our editorial recommendations are independent of affiliate relationships.

5. Updates
We update content when information changes. Every article has a "Last updated" date.

6. Corrections
If we make an error, we correct it promptly and note the correction at the bottom of the article.

AI Disclosure

Indoor Plant Guide uses AI tools to assist with research and drafting, but every article is reviewed, edited, and approved by a human expert (Tom). AI is a tool — not a replacement for human judgment.

Independence

Our editorial team is independent of our business and affiliate teams. Affiliate revenue does not influence which products or services we recommend.
