Before leaving, ensure thorough watering and move the plants out of direct sunlight to minimize moisture loss.

Bananas might enrich outdoor gardens but they don't deliver the same benefits indoors; instead, they may attract pests like gnats and cockroaches.

The key to making bog standard houseplants look good is to display them in an atypical way: an oversized trough of snake plants rather than a few leaves in a lonely pot.

A combination of lower light levels, fluctuating temperatures from central heating, and reduced humidity can stress plants, resulting in yellowing leaves, bud drop, scorching, and shrunken compost.
