Mine had a huge summer and is now physically touching the ceiling and leaning toward the window. Every guide says prune in spring, which is useless advice when the plant is bent against the plaster. I want to take maybe…
Six plants, mixed results, and every care instruction I read says the same three words. My living room feels bright to me. It has a large window and I never need a lamp during the day. Plants in it are surviving rather…
Two of them yellowed from the bottom up over about a month, one went crispy, and one just collapsed. I water everything every Sunday because that is when I remember, and the brightest spot is a windowsill that gets no…
Eight plants, all in the same room. I have been bottom watering only for three weeks, yellow sticky cards above every pot, and I let the top of the soil dry out properly between waterings. I catch maybe 20 gnats a week…

Big monstera in a 30cm plastic pot, standard bagged houseplant compost, sits about a metre from an east window. Over the last two months the edges of the larger leaves have gone brown and papery, and a couple of the…
Pothos in a 15cm pot, roots circling out of the drainage holes and the soil dries out in three days now. It is late October, my flat faces north and gets fairly weak light all winter, no grow lights. I have the pot and…
