Before you write, a quick check may answer it
Most questions we receive are about one of six things. If your question is already covered, the guide below will often give you the answer faster than we can.
-
Choosing Easy-Care Houseplants
Which plants forgive a missed watering and a dim corner, and which ones will not.
-
Placing Plants in Small Spaces
Sills, shelves, dividers and corners that work when floor space is short.
-
Light for Indoor Plants
Reading a room by window direction, distance from glass and time of year.
-
Watering Without Overwatering
How to check the soil properly, and why a fixed weekly schedule usually fails.
-
Repotting and Root Care
Signs a plant has outgrown its pot, and how to move it without shocking the roots.
-
Building a Simple Care Routine
A short weekly round that keeps a small collection in shape without becoming a chore.
Questions about writing to us
Short answers on timing, privacy and what happens after you press send.
How quickly do you reply to a message?
Messages sent during working hours, Monday to Friday between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM, usually get an answer the same day or the next working day. Messages that arrive over a weekend or on a public holiday wait until the office opens again.
What happens to the details I put in the form?
Your name, email and message are stored so that we can reply to you and keep a record of the exchange. They are not sold, rented or passed to anyone for marketing. The consent checkbox on the form is how you agree to that storage, and you can withdraw it later by replying to our answer and asking us to delete the message.
Can you identify a plant from a photo I send?
Describe the plant in words instead: leaf shape and size, whether the stems are upright or trailing, and how the plant sits in its pot. We work from written descriptions and from the guides on this site, and we will point you to the closest match we can identify from what you describe.
Can I visit the office without an appointment?
Call or email before you come so that someone is free to meet you. The address on this page is an office rather than a shop, and there is no plant stock kept on site for sale.
I spotted a mistake in one of the guides. Where do I report it?
Send it through the form with the guide name in the message. Corrections to watering advice, light levels and repotting timing are the ones we act on fastest, because they affect what a reader does next. Thank you for taking the time.
Still unsure? Start with a guide
If your question is about a plant you have not chosen yet, or a room you have not measured, the articles are the better first stop. Write to us when you want a second opinion on something specific.
