Mikaela Wilkes Reporter from Homed

Thank you to everyone who submitted questions about their sickly plant babies. Houseplants might be fashionable, but they can be tricky to get right.

We put some of your houseplant questions to the plant doctors from Kings Plant Barn to diagnose. Find their answers here.
