I blabber on about houseplants every week on On The Ledge, but I thought it was about time I gave you a room-by-room account of the houseplants I own. I start this week with the kitchen, where I have more than 25 plants on the go at the moment.

In early January I made a resolution for 2018 that I would grow as many houseplants from seed as possible. Fast forward a month and a half and I'm devoting a whole episode to the topic of growing your own houseplants from seed. I look at what you need to get started; what water, compost and containers to use; how to sow and what to do once your seed germinate.

 Lots of listeners have asked for an episode on hydroponics, so I called up Kevin Espiritu of epicgardening.com to get the lowdown on what hydroponics is, how it works and what you need to get started. Plus a listener question about an unhappy fern.

In her day job, Isabel Hardman is immersed in the serious world of politics, but she's also a botany nut. That's why she set up the #wildflowerhour weekly chat on Twitter. I chat to her about why houseplants bring her contentment, why living next to Kew gardens is a nightmare, and why I am responsible for her growing houseplant addiction.

Trying the Monstera adansonii in a new spot... it is finally starting to trail now I stopped taking cuttings! These are hungry plants so if yours is a little lacklustre check if it needs repotting and if not Ibe sure to feed!
