🌿 About Pam Hunter
Houseplant Enthusiast • Writer • Educator • Artist
Pam Hunter is a lifelong plant lover with over 50 years of hands-on experience growing, propagating, and caring for houseplants. Her journey with plants began long before they were trendy—rooted in curiosity, nurtured by observation, and sustained by decades of dedicated practice.
Today, she combines that deep knowledge with a new chapter of digital creativity, bringing houseplant care to a growing online community through her blog, Houseplant.Help.
Pam studied Business Administration at Portland State University and later pursued Psychology with a minor in Biology at George Fox University. Her academic background, especially her love of plant morphology, shaped her ability to explain complex plant processes in a clear, relatable way.
In 2024, at the age of 70, Pam embraced a bold restart. After a sudden move, she landed in McClusky, North Dakota, where she’s rebuilding her collection of beloved plants and launching an entirely new digital venture. She dove headfirst into new tools like GoDaddy Airo and ChatGPT, combining her previous 10 years of website design experience with cutting-edge AI to create fresh, helpful content for fellow plant lovers.
Before settling in McClusky, Pam worked as an Administrative Assistant at a rural hospital on the Olympic Peninsula, where her organizational skills and calm presence supported a tight-knit community. She is also an artist, bringing creativity and intuition to everything she does—from watercolor and design to planting and writing.
Now, through her blog and growing library of care cards, infographics, and AI-generated media, Pam offers accessible, detailed, and visually beautiful guidance for anyone trying to keep a pothos alive—or wondering why their peace lily is drooping again. She brings both a scientific curiosity and a compassionate voice to plant care, always seeking to learn more and share what she knows.
“I’m starting over, but I’m not starting from scratch,” Pam says. “The knowledge is still with me—it just needs a new shelf, a new window, and maybe a few new roots.”
