About
Grow plants at home, without the guesswork.
DIY.farm helps you grow plants where you are — a windowsill, a balcony, a desk, or under a grow light. Edible ones you can harvest, and houseplants that just make a place feel yours. We’re especially good for small and indoor spaces, where most plant advice assumes a yard you might not have.
The promise is simple: honest, specific guidance. We’d rather tell you a plant wants more light than you can give it than sell you a fantasy — so every recommendation comes with the real trade-offs, not just the upside. And we flag whether each plant is edible or just decorative, and whether it’s safe around cats and dogs.
Where our data comes from
| What | Source |
|---|---|
| Pet-toxicity ratings | ASPCA Toxic & Non-Toxic Plant database. Where a culinary plant isn’t specifically listed, we say so rather than imply certainty. |
| Plant names & taxonomy | USDA PLANTS and GBIF conventions. |
| Care guidance | Synthesized from university cooperative-extension guidance, adapted to real indoor and container conditions. |
| Photos | Wikimedia Commons, used only under open licenses (CC0 / CC-BY / CC-BY-SA / public domain) and credited on each plant page. |
Every plant carries a last-updated date; the catalog was last refreshed 2026-06-02.
