House plants.......

.......House plants, what ya gonna do, what ya gonna do when I come for you

I have 2 house plants, I've just about killed them both sadly and I just need to know where I've gone wrong.

This one has nice green leaves at the top but brown and crispy further down (have I over watered it? under watered it?)

Logon or register to see this image

And this one (supposedly a peace lily but it's brought me nowt but aggro) is limper than limp biscuit's limp biscuit

Can I bring them back to life........

Any advice would be appreciated my loves (apart from "chuck them in the bin, set them on fire" etc etc)

What the hell have you planted that bottom one in? Probably dying of embarrassment

Tip: If your peace lily starts to grow very slowly, and the leaves become increasingly dark green, move it to a brighter location. If, instead, your lily develops brown tips, move it away from any direct sunlight.


I often kill off house plants but have a look at spathiphyllum.

One link

There is a massive window opposite the peace lily, so perhaps stick it in the kitchen where it's shadier ?

It's a lion wearing a natty gold crown, rah !!!!!
Actually I think the peace lily needs more light, the leaves are dark green so perhaps I need to move it closer to the window

I've put a link in for you. I kill a lot of plants but maybe the link will give you more info.
I think my Ma keeps her peace lily in a fairly shady place ( under a mantle piece and away from the main windows). Worth moving it a bit and see if it thrives elsewhere. Check watering info too.

Thank you my love, I'll have a look xx

The second one

Is an app on your phone and you scan the plant and it tells you exactly what’s killing it and how to redeem it

Ah that sounds cool, unless it gives my phone aids

I've got ten cacti in the conservatory. They're 33 years old and seem to survive any punishment.

I quite fancy a cactus and a Venus fly trap but I'm scared it'll grow massive and eat me like on little shop of horrors

That first one....check the pot....is there a gold finish to the pot leaching into the soil??

I think I had a pot like that and when I swapped the plant to an everyday pot it was fine. Just a thought.

Lop I’m howling.
You have to talk to them and name them. I’ve got Shelby and Lorraine both about 11 years old.

Hmmm maybe, I don't think I have another pot but I do have a china white vase which may work xx

Chop some red chilies and chuck them in the soil. They look you've watered them too much.

Make sure the vase has drainage though

I do talk to them, but asking "why are you dying my precious bastard's?" is obviously pissing them off

Repot and see if it helps. That second one is crying proper tears

Broadleaf Palm Lily

Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 18°C - 26°C. Soil: A well-draining organic-rich potting mix that promotes moisture retention. Fertilizer: Use a well balanced organic fertilizer once a month from Spring through Summer. Pruning: Prune off any lower or discoloured leaves as the palm ages

Red chillies ? I was using baby bio plant food

Ah it doesn't and neither does the metal thingy - doh !!!
