About LeafLog

Our mission

When a leaf turns yellow or a succulent starts to shrivel, most people want two answers fast: what is wrong, and what should I change? LeafLog answers both clearly, using university extension services and botanical gardens as sources, so you can spend less time guessing and more time enjoying your plants.

What we cover

  • Care guides for popular houseplants and succulents: light, watering, soil, humidity, feeding and repotting.
  • Problems such as yellow leaves, brown tips, root rot and pests, organized from the easiest checks to the hardest.
  • Propagation step by step, from cuttings to division.
  • Pet safety taken only from the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants list.

Where our information comes from

Our guides draw on university extension services (such as Iowa State, NC State, Clemson, the University of Illinois and the University of Maryland), botanical gardens (Missouri Botanical Garden, the Royal Horticultural Society) and, for pet toxicity, the ASPCA. Every guide lists its sources at the bottom. Read our editorial policy for how articles are researched, written and reviewed.
