Bringing the joy of plants to every home, no matter how small
GrowDwell was born from a simple frustration-most gardening advice online assumes you have a backyard, perfect light, and no pets sniffing around your monstera. We don’t.
GrowDwell is a practical small-space gardening blog for people who live in apartments, share their homes with curious pets, and want plants that actually thrive, not just survive.
Our Story
GrowDwell started in 2026 when Mehedi Hasan moved into a small apartment and quickly learned that not all houseplants are created equal, especially when you share your space with a curious cat, dog, and other pets. After one too many toxic-plant scares and care guides that ignored low-light reality, he started documenting what actually worked.
Sweety joined soon after, bringing years of hands-on experience with tropical and tropical-tolerant houseplants. Together, we built
GrowDwell as the resource we wished existed when we started.
Today, GrowDwell publishes practical, research-backed plant guides for indoor gardeners navigating small spaces, pet-friendly homes, and unpredictable apartment conditions.
What We Cover
- Houseplant care: beginner to intermediate level
- Pet-safe plants: verified non-toxic options for cat and dog homes
- Low-light & low-maintenance: plants that survive busy lives
- Small-space gardening: apartments, balconies, windowsills
- Plant troubleshooting: when things go wrong (and they will)
Our Editorial Promise
Some guides are based on plants we grow ourselves; others are researched against verified sources. We aim to be clear about which is which. We:
- Test care methods in our own homes where we can
- Cite reputable sources (university extensions, ASPCA, botanical gardens)
- Update articles when we learn something new
- Share failures honestly. They are part of the story
