Soltech Spotlight : HSI, Making a Difference Since 2014

Table of Contents

This blog is a little different than our usual plant, health and design focused pieces. However, this one is equally close to our hearts and communities…helping our neighbors grow. We really felt inclined to recognize and highlight the incredible social and humanitarian work done in our backyards and across the globe, specifically through the inspiring and tireless work of Humanitarian Social Innovations, more commonly known as HSI.

Understanding light levels is key to happy houseplants. From full sun for succulents to low light for shade-tolerant greenery, matching your plant to your space—and supplementing with the right grow light when needed—makes all the difference.

Purple grow lights may be efficient for photosynthesis, but they often cast an unnatural glow that distorts colors and disrupts the ambiance of your home. They can also cause eye strain and make it harder to enjoy your space—especially in areas meant for relaxation or entertaining.

Pet-safe houseplants are non-toxic to cats and dogs, making them a great option for homes with curious paws and noses. While not all greenery is safe for pets, there are plenty of beautiful, low-maintenance options that can brighten your space without posing a risk.
