About EasyLeafy
EasyLeafy is for people who want plants at home without needing a botany degree. If you’ve stared at a yellow leaf wondering what you did wrong, or found out after buying a plant that it’s toxic to your cat, this site is for you.
EasyLeafy is an independent site run by Martín Golia.
What you’ll find here
- The answer first. Every guide opens with the short answer, then the details for people who want them.
- Pet safety with a source. Toxicity information comes from the ASPCA’s plant lists, and the page links to it.
- U.S. seasons and zones. Garden timing is written for the United States (USDA zones, °F). Where Australia is mentioned, it’s because the season or the window direction is genuinely different there.
- Free tools. A light test, a watering calculator and a plant finder.
Editorial policy
- How pages are written: drafts are prepared with the help of AI tools and then checked and edited by a person (who’s behind the site) against official sources. Nothing is published as “tested” or “expert-reviewed” unless that actually happened.
- Sources we use: the ASPCA toxic and non-toxic plant list for pets; U.S. university Extension services such as NC State Extension and UC IPM for care and pests; the Royal Horticultural Society; and the USDA hardiness zone map for planting dates. Articles with health or safety information list their sources at the bottom.
- Dates: every article shows a “Last reviewed” date. When a page is corrected or updated, that date changes.
- Corrections: if something is wrong, email [email protected]. It gets checked against the sources and fixed, usually within a few days.
- Independence: ads and affiliate links never decide what a guide recommends. See the Affiliate Disclosure.
Important
This site is general information, not veterinary or medical advice. If a pet or child has eaten a plant, contact your vet, poison control or emergency services right away.
