Dianthus is easy to grow, smells lovely and brings lots of color to a garden. So it’s not a surprise it’s loved by many gardeners. But sadly you can’t plant it with any other plant and hope it will work out. There are many plants that fight for nutrients, bring in unwanted pests or just …
Hydrangeas are one of the most beautiful flowers you can grow in your garden. They are gorgeous to look at and will brighten up any space. And they can grow in a lot of different conditions too, so they’re pretty hard to beat. But not all plants make good companions for hydrangeas. There are quite …
The bathroom might seem like a weird place for plants at first but it really works. They have more humidity than most rooms and add in the natural light from a window and you’ve got the equivalent of a mini greenhouse. But not all bathrooms are the same. Some have huge windows with bright light …
It can be so frustrating to walk into your living room or bedroom and see your snake plant flopped over like it’s about to die. Snake plants are supposed to be these super tough plants that can’t be killed. Yet somehow they still find ways to give us trouble. But when they start to tip …
There’s very little more annoying than a snake plant that refuses to stand up straight. They’re suppose to be the best plants for beginners and impossible to kill and yet yours is slumping over and struggling. Don’t worry though – it’s far more common than you’d think. My first snake plant went this way only …
So you’ve got yourself a snake plant. They’re a plant that is supposed to do well even when neglected. But it doesn’t always work out that way. Sadly even these tough plants can hit a plateau in their growth. And it’s super frustrating when your plant just sits there doing absolutely nothing. My first snake …
As I’ve mentioned once or twice before on this site, snake plants are supposed to be one of the easiest houseplants to keep alive. I mean, they’re basically the cockroaches of the plant world (in a good way!). They can survive neglect, poor lighting and pretty much everything except overwatering. So when your snake plant …
Having a snake plant slowly dying, especially when it’s known for being super tough, is frustrating. They’re supposed to be able to survive any amount of neglect but clearly that isn’t always the case. But there is some good news. They’re also very good at bouncing back from being on the brink when you know …
Snake plants are practically invincible. I’m not even kidding – I’ve seen these plants survive in situations that would kill most houseplants in days. But… that doesn’t mean they can’t die. They’re just harder to kill than most! I’ve been growing snake plants for years and even I’ve managed to kill a few. It happens …
Snake plants are supposed to be houseplants that you can ignore almost entirely and they’ll still grow. At least that’s what I was told before I got my first. Then after a while of it doing well I noticed its leaves were starting to split and crack. And I had no idea what was going …
