How to help indoor plants thrive

From choosing the right plants for your space to the secrets of fertilising—here is how you can cultivate a greener thumb.

We’ve all been there: wandering into a plant shop, spotting a darling plant, and debating whether to take it home (while also considering the budget). Eventually, you give in to your desire and buy it because you want it perched on your windowsill or adorning your room. You then take it home and shower it with all the love and attention it deserves, only to find it droopy and wilting within a week. Disheartened, you declare plants aren’t for you until another irresistible one catches your eye and the cycle repeats.
