I turned my flat into a jungle on the cheap – how to do it yourself

I just read this but there was no option for commenting and I will not be silenced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this and I agree I have purchased seeds from eBay that have not grown. Also, 3 pathos varieties from different sellers and one didn't survive, just in case you don't know its REALLY hard to kill pathos! I think it's because it was such a small cutting with hardly any root so the cinnamon trick would have been useful! I all fairness though I have purchased crocus bulbs from a large online garden center and from an amazon seller the amazon ones came up beutifuly but the garden center had very mixed results, some not at all, the pink autumn flowers the green comes up but not a single flower yet....and others were thankfully fine. Sadly when it comes to plants I don't think you get what you pay for but when you do get them they put a smile on my face.
