40 min - Fall Houseplant Care | Autumn Mini SeriesThis week, the gardeners are chatting about our indoor companions and how we can prepare them for the colder months ahead. Lighting, watering, repotting, fertilizing —these factors can make all the difference between a thriving plant and one that's merely surviving. If you're a beginner, we'll highlight some forgiving, and not so forgiving, options that will set yourself up for success. If you've been caring for houseplants outside over the summer, what should you watch for when you bring them in? Is autumn a good time to start propagating houseplants?
This is a big episode, so grab your favourite plant-themed mug and cozy up with this latest episode on houseplants!
*************************QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Roger from Instagram!
"Hi gardeners. I have a few houseplants and they didn't do as well as I hoped last year. I'd like to try grow lights. Where is a good place to start?"
