Your house plants bring joy to your life, add beauty to your home -- and even clean the air you breathe. While you enjoy tending a profusion of potted plants, indoor garden supplies can help you out from time to time.

Here are some user-friendly products that will help you shed some light, save time watering, and prune your plants with almost no effort.

Check these out. After all, who can't use a few helpers around the house?

Shed Some Light

Are your house plants getting enough light?

If they're "reaching" toward a window with long, spindly stems, and have long spaces between the leaves, they're not getting the light they need for photosynthesis. That's how plants transform light into the energy they need to grow.

Using a light intensity meter is the only surefire way to get an accurate measure of natural light near your windows.

Artificial lighting can supplement natural sunlight by providing the type of light plants require for photosynthesis. These grow lights for plants may work magic, helping your house plants to grow lush and full.

Table Grow Light

Give your small house plant all the light it wants, year-round.

A compact footprint makes this Hydrofarm Desktop Plant Light a go-anywhere grow light, ideal for a side table or shelf. Features a full-spectrum bulb to mimic sun's rays.

I love this feature: the height is adjustable so you can put the light closer to flowering plants, herbs or seedlings. Plus -- you'll appreciate the built-in tray to protect your table.

Protect Your Furniture

Slip this Plastic Saucer under your planter to catch drips and protect your table or floor.

Made of strong recycled plastic, this saucer is clear with a low profile to "disappear" under a potted plant.

Control Pests and Fungus

Eliminate pests and fungus on your plants with Safer Brand 3-in-1 Spray.

This organic spray works as a fungicide, insecticide and miticide to control aphids, mites, mealybugs, powdery mildew, black spot and other things that are bugging your plants.

Use it on your house plants -- plus, outdoor bedding plants, perennials, veggies, shrubs and trees.

Get Rid of Whitefly

Put these sticky Whitefly Traps in your plants and they'll attract and capture whiteflies, fungus gnats and other flying pests.

• Ideal for potted plants and greenhouses


• Includes 9 3"x5" yellow traps and 3 stakes


• Safe to use indoors and out

It's Time to Shape Up

You won't mind pruning tasks with these small, easy-to-handle Fiskars Micro-Tip Pruning Shears.

Sharp, narrow blades help you to make precision cuts for pruning and deadheading small plants, while the ergonomic, non-slip grip provides comfort for your hands.

They're quite a bargain for quality pruning shears you'll actually want to use.

Surround Plants with Humidity

Want an easy solution for adding humidity around your tropical plants?

Place your plants on this Humidity Drip Tray with Pebbles. The pebbles keep your plants above the drainage water. As the water evaporates, it increases the moisture in the air around them.

This tray is a simple and low-cost way to give indoor plants the humidity they crave.
