GreenyPlace.com answers everyday questions about gardening, plants and green living – short, clear and without making you read a long article first. Houseplants, vegetables and herbs, flowers, lawns, trees, pests, soil and compost, or a more sustainable home: you will find answers here to the questions people actually ask.
GreenyPlace.com is run by a small, independent editorial team. When a page says "Editorial team GreenyPlace.com", we are responsible for that page.
Our answers cover the green side of everyday life: caring for houseplants and garden plants, growing vegetables, fruit and herbs, flowers, lawns, shrubs and trees, soil, watering, fertilizing and composting, recognizing and dealing with pests and plant diseases, and practical ideas for a more sustainable home and lifestyle.
Our answers are general information and not personal professional advice. Every garden, plant and situation is different. For decisions with real consequences – using pesticides or other chemicals, identifying plants or mushrooms that may be poisonous to people or pets, removing large trees or tackling serious infestations – please check the product label and local rules, and talk to a qualified professional such as a local garden center or nursery, your agricultural extension service, a certified arborist, a pest control professional, a veterinarian or a doctor. If you suspect that a person or an animal has been poisoned, contact a poison control center, a doctor or a veterinarian right away.

Despite our care, an answer can be incomplete or out of date. If you notice something, write to us via our contact page and mention the question concerned. We review every report and correct the answer or take it offline.
