I have a Christmas/Thanksgiving cactus in my south facing kitchen window that loves it there.Any recommendations for a nice colourful plant for a kitchen window. It’s fully south facing so very bright and direct sunlight (well as much as there is in the north of England) I did have a citrus plant but think I have finally killed it
He's doing it to spite youI swear my once-headed-for-the-bin calathea is doing this just to spite me now. It won't stop growing!

Before binning him why not take some cuttings and root them in water then you'll have loads of nippers!?It’s gorgeous!!
I repotted my Christmas cactus yesterday in an attempt to breathe some life into it! Otherwise it is bin time too!
I need to give my one a trim so this gives me hope.Also how's this for a resurrection? My boston fern today

Never seen such rigidity in a boston fern, its like a horror film poster of an arm reaching out of a grave. Wishing it a zombie strength resurrection.Mr D's Boston Fern is less in need of a resurrection than it is a seance.

It's now on the Nursing Wing. Seems to have worked rather well for the Tradescantia, as that was one pathetic scrap left from the battering of the Cat poked into the top of the pot. Slightly too well, when you take into account that there's a huge clump of water roots that appeared almost overnight and it now has its own water supply and those danglies are about three foot long all round.
I don't think it sounds too bad if the leaves are only starting to drop, new little tendrils are usually quick to spring up- but feel for you that with the lack of light now recovery might be so much slowerRealised with horror last night that I've been overwatering my beautiful blue star fern. Its soil was sodden and starting to lose leaves. Its currently sitting in the (empty) sink to drain off. I might give it some fresh soil later and check the roots. Hopefully I've saved it in time. Its one of my favourite plants.
Yeah I might give it a spell in a bright window to help its recoveryI don't think it sounds too bad if the leaves are only starting to drop, new little tendrils are usually quick to spring up- but feel for you that with the lack of light now recovery might be so much slower
To ease your worries maybe a little prod about the hairy rhizome bit for anything mushy would be more of an indication of the water damage?
They're such a beautiful tough plant- wish other in house ferns could take note.
On a similar track, calathea wise I've found the rattlesnake one to be a no fuss even up to drought belter
Over. Very, very over.For years my aloe have looked great but now they all look like this, smaller ones are completely dead, bigger ones are loosing their lower leaves. Are they overwatered, underwatered, too hot/cold or have succumbed to something awful, all suggestions welcome, thank you.
