About Plantgecko

Real plant advice from real plant people.

Why Plantgecko Exists

Most plant advice online is either generic AI-generated content or conflicting forum threads. Plantgecko was built to change that: we provide clear, practical, research-based plant care guides written by people who actually grow plants.

We do not publish manufacturer talking points. We do not recommend products we have not tested. Every guide is based on real experience with real plants.

Who We Are

Plantgecko was founded by Markus, a passionate plant enthusiast with years of hands-on experience growing everything from succulents to fruit trees. Every recommendation on this site is based on what actually works — not what looks good in a catalog.

How We Test & Recommend

Three pillars: Hands-On Experience (we grow the plants we write about), Research-Based (we combine personal experience with scientific sources), Honest Recommendations (if a product or technique fails, we say so clearly).

How We Make Money

Plantgecko is reader-supported. When you buy through our Amazon links, we earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. This does not influence which products we recommend. Learn more.
