Affiliate Disclosure

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that we disclose any material connection between us and the makers of products or services we mention on this site. This page covers those relationships in plain language.

Affiliate links

Some links on Sill & Stem are affiliate links. This means that if you click one of those links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer — at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.

We participate 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. We may also participate in affiliate programs with other retailers, including plant supply companies and home-goods stores.

How we choose what to link to

• We only link to products we've personally used, tested, or would confidently buy again.
• We don't accept payment in exchange for a positive review.
• If we ever receive a product for free, we say so directly in the article.
• Our recommendations are ours — no advertiser or affiliate program has editorial input.

Display advertising — Journey by Mediavine

Sill & Stem is a member of Journey by Mediavine, a full-service ad management program. Mediavine places display advertisements on our pages and pays us a share of the ad revenue. This is how we're able to keep every guide free and paywall-free.

Mediavine and its advertising partners may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to serve ads that are relevant to your interests. We don't control which specific ads appear, and appearance of an ad does not constitute an endorsement of the advertised product by Sill & Stem.

For details on the data Mediavine collects and how to manage your preferences, see our Privacy Policy, Mediavine's privacy policy, or opt out of personalized advertising at optout.aboutads.info.

Sponsored content

If we ever publish sponsored content, it will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored" at the top of the article, and the relationship with the sponsor will be disclosed. As of the date above, Sill & Stem has not published any sponsored content.

Editorial independence

Advertising and affiliate revenue keep this site running, but they don't shape what we write. If a plant tool doesn't work, we'll say so. If a popular product is overhyped, we'll say that too. Reader trust is worth more than any single commission.
