About Felu Garden
Plant guidance for real homes.
Felu Garden grew from the small questions that make plant care feel mysterious. Why are the leaves turning yellow? Is this pot too small? Can herbs survive on a balcony? Did I water too much, too little, or somehow both?
We are Silas and Juliana Payao. We built this site to help beginners look at the plant, the room and the season before reaching for a dramatic fix.
A garden does not have to be large
We write for readers growing something in ordinary spaces: a basil pot near a window, a snake plant in a bedroom, a balcony container or a houseplant that looked happier last week.
Plants reward attention more than panic. Our guides explain what to observe, which causes are plausible and what to change one step at a time. Species, climate, light and season still matter, so we do not present one routine as a universal rule.
Who is behind the guides
The names on our bylines lead to a public archive of each person’s work. The photographs here are from our wedding and are used because this is a personal publishing project, not a faceless content brand.
Silas Payao
Research, plant notes and practical troubleshooting. Silas organizes source material and turns it into checks a beginner can follow.
Juliana Payao
Observation, patience and beginner-friendly clarity. Juliana reviews whether the guidance makes sense in an everyday home.
How a guide takes shape
We want plant care to feel less like a secret language and more like a skill built through observation. When a method or tool has limits, the guide should say so.
- Start with a specific plant-care question and the conditions that can change the answer.
- Check consequential claims against identifiable horticultural, extension or product sources.
- Edit the guide around observations, safe next steps and the point where local help is more appropriate.
