As with our outdoor gardens, many things can go wrong when you grow plants indoors. Learn the factors that make for happy houseplants, including light, water, and soil and how to provide them. Common houseplant pests and diseases, as well as how to treat them, will also be discussed.

Power, a serious outdoor/indoor gardener, has many horticultural interests and areas of expertise. She holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in zoology, which informs her perspective on the management of garden and plant insects and pests. She is a member of the MGA Soil pH Testing team and also volunteer guide at Garden in the Woods, a Native Plant Trust botanical garden in Framingham.
