I've not noticed the difference in quality of the plants to be honest, had expensive plants that just died no matter what I did and that's annoying when you pay lots for one. That being said, the independent shops near me do have really interesting plants in sometimes and nice pots so it's worth it for that.

So happy to have randomly found this thread searching for something else I’m not an expert but I love plants
My favourite plants are the free ones please do not be intimidated to learn how to propagate I have made so many baby plants half of mine are like this
You can get cuttings from friends / family too that makes it more affordable and you can sometimes get a rare variety
You don’t need to have a garden or balcony I learned from watching YouTube videos

Oh yea!
A Woman on a local fb group was giving away spider plants, so I grabbed a couple.
Do I just ignore them basically until Spring?
And just put near a window?
Thank you!

Very easy to care for. Water when soil is dry or close to drying out. I water mine about once 8-10 days. They like bright light but not full on direct sun.
Just installed Planta as well, thanks for your tip
My beautiful Lilie
should I be worried that one of the flowers is long time green? Greetings to all plant lovers
I need a new peace lilly. I had one that I divided into several plants. I decided to give a few away but got carried away and ended up with none 
Oh, I should have said, sometimes it takes several months before anything happens. Just stick the pits in some soil, water occasionally and then exercise patience!
Snake plant grows slow but needs hardly any care / water that’s a hard one to kill for us accidental plant killers
I want to put up a wooden hanging basket or those macrame pot holder things on a ceiling hook so I can have a trailing plant hopefully grow all the way down to the ground
Some people you see on Insta and YouTube have made their house into a indoor jungle it’s not possible for me to get that obsessed due to lack of space otherwise who knows

Anyone do terrariums? I have started experimenting, received some beautiful mosses yesterday which was very exciting. Would love advice from experienced people!
My absolute dream but home is as arid as a desert! Would love tropicals and ferns.Some people you see on Insta and YouTube have made their house into a indoor jungle it’s not possible for me to get that obsessed due to lack of space otherwise who knows
I'm turning my bathroom into a bit of a jungle room. I trying to trail a golden pothos up the wall with suction cups but it's pretty much hibernating right now. Hopefully in the summer it will take off again.
I got it at a decent size early summer and it grew fast.

I’ve had my snake plant since the first lockdown and I’ve only watered it about 3 times and it’s in the darkest corner of my room, sooooo easy to look after!Snake plant grows slow but needs hardly any care / water that’s a hard one to kill for us accidental plant killers

Some more of my babies.
I bought my money plant for 50p from the school plant sale. It was tiny with just 3 leaves.
And the snake plant from home bargains. It was half this size. Think I've only ever watered it once.
I have a monkey plant too but he doesn't seem to be doing very well.

PLEASE tell your care tips for your money plant! mine hate me and I’ve had three
I’ve tried all different watering systems, different placements, different soils and I’ve had no luck!Honestly, it's just in that pot, in my living room (which gets alot of light, but not much heat if that makes sense? The sun hits the front of my house, living room is in the back) and I water it only when it looks a bit sad. Its also just in basic soil, like the bags you get 3 for £15 at the garden centre. I've never bought special soil for any of my plants.PLEASE tell your care tips for your money plant! mine hate me and I’ve had three
Love my Alocasia
A few Red Secrets, Lower Rider in the middle and a Dragon Scale just visible on the right.
I’ve found my people! 
Absolutely adore all my houseplants - I live in a flat so it’s my way of bringing the outdoors inside! My favourites are my monsteras, although my mother monstera is out of control and not in a pretty way! She’s off for a holiday to my local plant shop soon so they can make her look a little less chaotic
Do any of you have tips on how to make begonias actually like me? I’ve never encountered such a dramatic plant in my life! One day it’s fine and then the next it’s wilting over the side of the pot!

Oh my gosh, a plant thread! Yey!!
I only got into houseplants last year but my collection has grown rapidly. Having them around brings me so much joy. I particularly like my Crassula Marnieriana although I managed to kill the first one by overwatering I think. Fingers crossed for the latest one.
I've also not had much luck with a prayer plant, a spider plant and a string of pearls which was deceased within a week
. One of my cats killed my Kentia Palm and my Yucca by using the pots as a litter tray grrrr. I took the Yucca to the tip today, it was oozing some very manky stuff from the trunk.
I've got lots of different types of snake plants, I like the quirky cylindrical one the most I think. I also have a rather beautiful monkey's tail cactus. I've recently bought one with soft, pink leaves (Syngonium Neon Robusta) and I'm waiting for the arrival of a Peporomia Polybotrya and some trailing one I can't remember the name of.
I'd quite like an elephants ear (Alocasia Zebrina) at some point and a Crassula Perforata (string of buttons).
I've really enjoyed learning the about the different families of plants and am beginning to recognise different species now although but mostly I just feel an immense sense of peace and wellbeing by having them all around me. I think I might be a bit obsessed though because I'm running out of places to put them.

Cats are such a damn menace! I had a beautiful chain of hearts until my cat capsized it into his litter tray belowOh my gosh, a plant thread! Yey!!

It was the moment I was sweeping up yet more soil and suddenly swept up a poo with it that I realised I was in trouble. The poor Yucca started off with three trunksCats are such a damn menace! I had a beautiful chain of hearts until my cat capsized it into his litter tray below
