I've had my Spathiphyllum wallisii for about two years now, and I'm finally getting consistent flowering instead of just the occasional bloom. I think it clicked when I stopped moving it around—I kept chasing the "perfe

I've had my Ficus lyrata for three years now, and it finally threw out a new leaf last month after staying dormant for ages. I think the key was moving it away from the south-facing window—too much direct sun was stress
