Do you have indoor plants? My last two that I had for many years have gone up to meet their creator. Do you like them or more of a fuff? Do you talk to them? Do you know what they are or just like the look of them. Just tell us  |

I think I've got about 35. I like ferns, pothos ( and Chinese money plants are lovely. I've "made babies" and given them away. Think I've just killed one or two though.  |

"I've never had houseplants but decided to get them in my bungalow. Yesterday I bought a mother in laws tongue and a rubber plant and the cats have no interest at all"
Mother in laws tongue are brilliant. Dead easy to look after  |

Ooh I have 2x banana plants, coconut palm, money tree, 2x orchids, flaming sword, snake plant, cast iron plant, a money plant and about 5x succulents.
I'd love more but one of my cats thinks that the world is a buffet. |

I've quite a lot, including some I revolve between the house, greenhouse and garden. My red Maurelli banana is looking a bit sad, as I've left it a bit too long with colder temperatures than it prefers  . There was a guy a couple of years ago here who'd had his for a few years and doing very well with it. Mine, I've just had for 3 years.
I need to do more for my Lemons and Bougainvilleas this year, as they've been a little neglected.
I got a couple of purple shamrocks (Oxalis), which are tiny, determined warriors
They flower most of the year, with minimal attention, just enjoyment |

Do you just have black Alocasia or do you have others?
There is an ass book group here for plant swaps and rehoming. It's great for picking up new plants! I'd imagine every town has one. |

I had a black one but it died, I've got an alocasia Amazonica now that is looking poorly which is odd cause in the same room I have a alocasia which is thriving. |

Love my plants - had many left with me when my daughter left for uni and love my two 50year old Bonsai
Had a wander round a garden centre recently looking for a gift and was shocked by the prices! Came home and estimated there’s about £3K’s worth inside the house and about the same in pots outside  |

I collect cacti and succulents.
At one point I had over 150 different ones but then I bought some plants off a fellow collector not realising they were infected with bloody mealybug, and it swept through my collecton, utterly decimating it. I've about 40 plants left now.
My latest is a lovely little jurassic plant my husband bought me yesterday. |

I sympathise! It's a nasty pest and I've lost too much from it in the past . |
