Built by Jim Liu — Sydney.
Plant killer turned data nerd.
I'm Jim. I've killed six fiddle-leaf figs, one peace lily, and (briefly, embarrassingly) a pothos. AI Plant Hub is what I built instead of killing a seventh fiddle-leaf: a small, honest set of tools and reference pages for houseplant owners who'd rather read a number than a vibe. It isn't a content farm, a Pinterest aggregator, or a place to sell you fertilizer subscriptions.
Editorial rules.
Certain phrases are banned site-wide. They're filler, marketing speak, or both. They usually mean the author didn't know what they were talking about. The list is public and lives here.
Independence.
AI Plant Hub is operated as an independent brand. It isn't cross-promoted, cross-linked, or listed alongside the other sites I run. There's a deliberate reason for that: from a search-engine perspective, a new site that suddenly shares backlinks and footer links with four older, unrelated domains looks like a network, and that signal hurts the site more than it helps.
More importantly, AdSense and ad partners evaluate each domain on its own editorial merit. Mixing a nascent houseplant site with a finance site or a SaaS comparison site dilutes that review. So aiplanthub.com is judged alone, on its own content, by its own search graph.
In practice this means: no affiliate pressure from the other projects, no footer link-exchange, no shared author bylines. Every piece on this site is written with the question “does this actually help someone keep a plant alive?”, not “does this move traffic somewhere else?”.
