Houseplant care

Neglected houseplants may not die, but sooner or later they can get untidy and covered in dust. Regular attention will pay handsome dividends. 

Successful houseplants

You don't need greenfingers or special equipment to have thriving houseplants. Instead, a little loving care and a few basic facts are sufficient. 

Make your houseplants happy

Houseplants are perfect to liven up the rooms of your home - the trouble is, they sometimes turn yellow or wilt, and you have no idea why. 

Feeding houseplants

Just as we water houseplants because rain doesn't reach them, so we need to feed them because their roots aren't able to reach out for nourishment. 

Watering houseplants

Get to know your plants. Their needs for water will change depending on humidity, time of year, temperature and amount of light available. 

Caring for orchids

Orchids are tropical plants living as epiphytes this means they grow on trees and between rocks, not directly in the soil. 

Caring for Christmas houseplants

Christmas houseplants are a great way of brightening up the house, making it colourful and festive, and they make fabulous Christmas gifts.
