I never imagined I'd ever be sitting here writing a book guide from a council estate in Newcastle with the biggest gardening publisher in the world is nuts. Taught to garden as a child by his grandparents, this book will bring together 30 years of growing experience and plant knowledge. And the Corybas caudatas is an extremely rare orchid, which my wonderful friend Rogier had bottled it to hold aside and gifted to me a while ago. Creating the perfect bio-chemistry in your pot for strong, healthy roots, Houseplant Superfood is packed full of nutrients for all indoor plants.Well, that's a great metaphor for the overall amount of hard work that goes into producing a book like this. And it can cause things like fungal problems on the leaf if the water is not drying off,” says Tony.

If you are a novice or have a great passion for houseplants, as I have, in my opionion, this is the best comprehensive houseplant book on the market today.

If plants are going to grow healthily, they need a balanced fertiliser and different plants require different levels of NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium). If you're looking for rare and exotic house plants and terrarium plants, Growtropicals has the UK's largest selection! I should have taken a photograph to show you the two pieces but I confess my excitement to put it together meant I just got straight on with construction. If you prefer to support the show in other ways, please do go and rate and review On The Ledge on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher or wherever you listen.

From growing his own collection, Tony Le-Britton shows you how to grow and care for the world’s most sought after plants. I realised that Tony Le-Britton was houseplant obsessed when I interviewed him some years ago for a feature. Meanwhile, ‘plant profiles’ put the spotlight on some of the more unusual plants in Tony’s collection, including Monstera obliqua ‘Peruvian Form’, which is smaller than the more commonly grown members of the monstera family.So my book is stripping it back and taking it back to science and then using that to show people how to care for their houseplants in a really, really, easy way. But there’s also a chapter on variegation, something Tony is madly passionate about and something that can make one plant truly unique to another of the same variety. And I've got to say, first of all, thank you, because you were a little, a little person to be there that I could reach out to and just ask questions, and we bounce and things back and forwards. Because as you know, in when you have a lot of plants, it can sometimes just become a bit of a burden or just becomes a lot, right? This is one of Tony's biggest bugbears, who says home-made fertilisers are “a total waste of food or total waste of time.
