I thought maybe chillies or a nice looking plant!
Spathiphyllum is meant to be a good for cleaning the air, easy-to-keep pot plant too like

This year it's cilantro, chamomile, basil, marjoram, and turmeric. I also always have an aloe living with me.
I'm so stoked about my turmeric though!

Doesn't turmeric need to be above 15c all the time? Sounds good though!

Get your FREE bee-friendly seeds
British bee numbers have fallen dramatically in recent years.
But we need bees. With other pollinating insects, they're vital to:
Our food supply - they pollinate most of our fruit and veg
Our economy - without bees costs for farmers would rise, pushing up food prices
Our quality of life - our gardens, parks and countryside
We have 8,000 more packs of FREE seeds to give away
. British wildflower seeds, including marjoram, mayweed, poppy, daisy, red campion, selfheal, wild carrot, birdsfoot trefoil, cornflower and red clover.

Anyone have any experience of growing Coriander from seed?
I have just potted on, still indoors, but stalks are very weak and long and tending to droop..
Also having trouble germinating: Lavender and Mint - any tips appreciated

My herbs got destroyed by the rain over the last week...
Months of work ruined in a few days.
The fucking lot is gone in a puddle of mud and tears.
The tears are mine.
(I planted Basil, Sorrell, Thyme, Chives and Mint...)

I grow everything for the garden under a light until it's hardy enough to take a good beating.
Then we move it outdoors. This really cuts down on our loses. A good light is a cheap investment.

Actually, the chives and mint are ok...
The rest are fucked.

I have no clue, but considering I live in the south eastern US that temp doesn't seem like it'll be a problem.

This is really normal, but coriander doesn't like to be replanted.
Also this for my fellow broke-ass apartment dwellers --->

1) Ikea (at least in the US) has cheap Wardian cases - $20. They look like this:

2) Went to the local botanical gardens' plant sale this weekend... yowza. Didn't mean to buy so many, but some of the cooler things I got were an
Ashitaba plant (Japanese "miracle" longevity herb and all around health tonic: edible, medicinal) and a sundew carnivorous plant... so beautiful.
Oh, and discovering that geraniums are really easy to propagate.
