Fellow/Potential Plant Parents?! - #HouseplantWeekUK

Hi! The first one looks to be some kind of crassula- perhaps a crassula ovata hobbit? The second one is an aloe vera i think I could be completely wrong though because I don't know as much about succulents!

thank you how do you know about plants? do you have any of your own/which ones?

I managed to kill a cactus, I can't be trusted with house plants

i have 98 plants and i still manage to kill cacti every so often i just love them too much until it kills them

I have never had a house plant survive, it is pretty shameful for some who's highest qualification is basically growing stuff

oo what's ur qualification? i'm doing a maths degree but i rly love looking after animals and plants im jealous of anyone who gets to care for things

Every year during the second week in January, David Domoney, a Chartered Horticulturist and English celebrity gardener, best known for co-presenting Love Your Garden alongside Alan Titchmarsh and for being the resident gardener on ITV1's This Morning, wants to celebrate houseplants. So he's created #HouseplantWeekUK to celebrate the best of indoor gardening and help you choose the right plant for your home.

Houseplants can be beneficial to air quality and general well-being!

Here are some of my plants(no idea what the second one is called, I think the first is a jelly bean plant? I used an image recognition system(I used Google lens) to recognise this or you could just actually remember the plant you're buying ) :




Do you have any plants/are you considering getting one?

Do you want to chat with other plant parents, share tips, have questions, share memes etc?Here is the thread for you!

i love plants but mine always die. or get eaten by the cat:<

I have 3 cats and one in particular is an a**hole so it's a real struggle ><. Even as I'm shouting at her and clambering out of bed to get her off a plant that she's eating she'll just stare me dead in the eyes and keep going. Still love her to bits tho~

ugh, mine will sometimes puke it out :<

i couldn't tell you which ones i have because i own a lot lol. i went crazy during summer buying more plants bc i had nothing else to do so my house is like a jungle now haha. my fave ones are probably my mexican fortune tree, devil's ivy and asparagus fern i bought some more difficult species during summer but i regretted it once i became too busy with uni to properly care for them. are you planning on expanding ur collection or are u happy with what u have now?

Oh, how much I love them!

For those who like plants but too afraid to ruin it - from my exp, the easiest plants to grow (and not kill) are the "Christmas Cactus". Another is the Philodendron, a creeping vine that will take over your home if you let it.

oh cool
deffo looking to expand but I'm not sure what. I want something easy.
