Trevor explores the lasting love for indoor plants and shares his top tips to keep your leafy friends thriving and your home feeling fresh and calm.

• The love for indoor plants that bloomed during COVID is here to stay,and for good reason! They purify the air, add oxygen, and create a sense of calm in our living spaces.
• Indoor plants thrive without artificial light, often originating from forest floors where they adapted to low light and high humidity, developing large, lush, and variegated leaves.
• Most indoor plants are incredibly hardy, making them perfect for home gardeners. Nurseries like Humphris Nursery supply The Greenery Mt Evelyn with top-quality varieties ideal for local conditions.
• Keep soil moist but not waterlogged, use a specialized tub and terracotta mix for healthy roots, and ensure pots have a tray or self-watering system to prevent mess and maintain moisture balance.
• Top Tips for Thriving Plants: Place plants in bright, indirect light (no harsh sun), feed monthly with liquid fertilizer over the foliage and always start with strong, healthy plants for lush, long-lasting growth
