Affiliate Disclosure
We believe you deserve to know exactly how this site works and how we make money. This page explains our affiliate relationships, how they work, and why they do not compromise the quality of our content.
Required FTC Disclosure
Indoor Garden is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
This means that some of the links on this website are affiliate links. If you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we will receive a commission from Amazon at no additional cost to you. As required by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), we are disclosing this relationship.
Our Commitments to You
Having affiliate links doesn't mean compromising on honesty. Here's how we protect your trust.
Editorial Independence
No brand pays us to be featured or recommended. Our product selections are based entirely on research, testing criteria, and genuine usefulness to plant parents.
Full Transparency
Every affiliate link on this site is disclosed. You'll see 'Buy on Amazon' buttons throughout the shop and product pages — those are affiliate links.
No Extra Cost to You
When you purchase through our links, you pay exactly the same price as you would going to Amazon directly. The commission comes from Amazon's margin, not yours.
We Only Recommend What We'd Buy
Every product in our shop was selected because we genuinely believe it's worth buying. We reject products that have poor reviews, safety concerns, or that we wouldn't personally recommend.
How Affiliate Links Work
A plain-English explanation of the process from click to commission.
You browse our shop
You find a product you're interested in — say, the Spider Farmer SF-1000 grow light.
You click 'Buy on Amazon'
You're taken to Amazon.com. The URL contains our affiliate tag ('indoorgarden-20'), which tells Amazon you came from our site.
You make a purchase
If you complete a purchase within 24 hours of clicking our link, we receive a small commission from Amazon — typically 1–8% depending on the product category.
We keep the site running
That commission helps fund the time it takes to research products, write care guides, maintain the plant encyclopedia, and keep everything free for our readers.
How to Identify Affiliate Links on This Site
Affiliate links on Indoor Garden are always clearly labeled. You'll recognize them by:
- "Buy on Amazon" buttons throughout the shop and product detail pages
- URLs containing tag=indoorgarden-20 — our Amazon affiliate tag
- The external link icon (↗) next to any button that takes you to Amazon
- The footer note on every page: "As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases."
If you would prefer not to use our affiliate links, you are always welcome to search for the product name directly on Amazon.com. Our recommendations remain the same either way.

Why affiliate links matter to us
Indoor Garden is an independent site. We don't have a venture-capital backer or a parent media company. Affiliate commissions are what allow us to pay for hosting, development, content creation, and the time it takes to properly research every plant profile and product review.
When you buy through our links, you're directly supporting the creation of free, high-quality plant care content. We're grateful for every purchase — and we take that trust seriously by maintaining strict editorial standards.
