EPISODE 5: How not to kill your houseplant with Veronica Peerless




On The Ledge show

Summary: This week I find out what yellowing leaves mean in a houseplant, confess to sawing a peace lily in half and get the lowdown on plant pests from Veronica Peerless, whose new book How Not To Kill Your Houseplant (£9.99 from DK) is out now.  This week's question comes from @allotmentalice who wants to know "how do you keep a Ficus from throwing a wobbly every few weeks and dropping all its leaves"? Get in touch and support the show If you'd like to share a picture of your houseplants, taunt me with pictures of your gorgeous Begonia rex plants, ask a question or make a comment, you can comment below, email ontheledgepodcast@gmail.com or tweet @janeperrone.
