About this course

Learn to keep common houseplants alive and thriving by understanding the four levers that actually matter: light, water, soil, and roots. You will measure light in foot-candles, water by weight and the finger-and-meter test, blend aroid and succulent mixes, repot without killing the plant, and run a fertiliser schedule. By the end you can diagnose yellowing, treat root rot, knock out the four most common pests, and propagate new plants for free.
