We all know it well. There’s nothing worse than the feeling of shameful responsibility for having killed one of our precious house plants; or at least having failed to keep it alive and thriving. On my new house plant care guide page, I’ll discuss how to look after your favourite species of plant-baby, giving you everything you need to love on your plants just the way they like it.
