We're all in no doubt that our houseplants are good for us, but are they good for the environment? This episode is the start of an occasional series looking at houseplants and sustainability: I'm starting by looking at peat use - can we find a viable alternative to this non-renewable resource? I talk to Sean Higgs, who's been growing carnivorous plants peat-free for many years. And I answer a question about the aerial roots on a monster Anthurium.

Red spider mites may not be visible with the naked eye, but they damage they can do to our houseplants is considerable. I get an insight into the world of the spider mite with the help of two entomologists, and find out how to keep houseplants mite-free. And I answer a question about easy trailing plants that are non-toxic to cats.
