FAQ About Indoor Plant Pest-Resistant Companion Species

What are indoor plant pest-resistant companion species?
Indoor plant pest-resistant companion species are plants that naturally deter pests that commonly affect other houseplants. These companion plants can provide protection by either emitting scents that repel insects, releasing chemicals into the soil that protect neighboring plants, or attracting beneficial insects that prey on pests. Such plants help in promoting a healthy indoor ecosystem and reduce the need for chemical pesticides.
