Do your houseplants look sad? What does it mean when their leaves turn yellow? Plant expert Cami Farmer will help you understand what your house plants need to thrive! Learn how to choose the best plants for your home and how to pot them correctly so they have space to grow. She will show you how to take cuttings for propagation and how to get rid of pesky pests.
