Houseplant Guide
Start with the name on your tag, packing slip, or nursery pot. This guide connects common names to the right botanical group, the plants Palma has actually published, and the care resources that go deeper. Devil's ivy leads to Pothos. Satin pothos is Scindapsus. Mini monstera is Rhaphidophora tetrasperma. Mother-in-law's tongue is a snake plant, now classified as Dracaena trifasciata. Chinese money plant is Pilea peperomioides, not a Money Tree. Use the genus list, then the product page or the care tools when the question is bigger than a name.
How Palma writes plant pages
Names. We keep the name on the tag because that is what people search. The botanical name follows Kew Plants of the World Online. If a trade name parks a plant in the wrong genus, satin pothos is Scindapsus, mini monstera is Rhaphidophora, we say so.
Water. There is no fixed calendar. Water when the top inch or two of mix is dry, then adjust for pot, light, season, and the plant.
Pets. Toxic / non-toxic follows the ASPCA lists. For aroids the usual irritant is calcium oxalate raphides. Non-toxic is not chew-safe.
Who stands behind it. Botanical and care pages: Nick Alan. Journal: Jenna Lee. Updated September 2026. Sources: Kew POWO; ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants.
