DO you want to own plants but they always seem to die on your watch?
If you fit this description, panic not, as a garden expert has revealed five plants which are “virtually impossible” for owners to kill.
Experts from Stelrard shared the houseplants which have few care requirements compared to other options.
Here are the five you should consider buying…
Money trees were said to be one of the top options for people who are not green fingered.
The experts told The Express: “Who says money doesn’t grow on trees? Well not literally with the money tree, but it is believed to bring good luck to whoever owns this plant.
“Simply water it weekly and place it in direct and partial sunlight.”
It’s important to note that money trees do need plenty of room to grow and if they do need repotting you should do this in spring.
One pretty plant which is low-maintenance and easy to care for is a peace lily.
The gardening pros advised: “This is perhaps one of the easiest plants to take care of, it prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate lower light levels. It produces an attractive white flower that can last for weeks.”
The only thing you may wish to look out for is they are said to be sensitive to tap water, so you should water them with filtered water if possible.
Spider plants not only look interesting but are also very easy to look after too.
The pros said: “You can basically forget about this plant and it will still thrive in your home.”
While they could be the ideal plant for busy people, you should watch out if you have cats because they are “mildly hallucinogenic and slightly addictive for some.”
Just take care to not over water your plant and you should allow it to dry out between watering.
Another low-maintenance plant which is very popular is Devil’s Ivy.
The experts say they are very adaptable to different spots in your home, and do well indoors or in a shaded outdoor spot.
All they need is a little bit of indirect sunlight and some water whenever the soil feels like it needs some moisture.
Other plants that were advised for people who kill plants are aloe vera, corn plant, panda plant and the Chinese evergreen.
The Sun’s Gardening Editor, Veronica Lorraine, has shared the jobs you need to tackle in October.
“It’s a good time to trim deciduous hedges – like box, yew, hawthorn, hornbean and beech – plus hedge trimmers are a great upper body workout!
Make leafmould – gather up all the fallen leaves and fill either bin bags or plastic carrier bags. Seal the top, stick a few small holes in the bag – and then store for a year or more. Free compost!
It’s unlikely you’ll get any more red tomatoes so have one final harvest and chuck the plants on the compost. See if you can get the green ones to ripen by putting in a drawer (some say with a banana). Also keep the seeds from a couple – and plant again next year if they went well.
Finish getting in your spring bulbs. Ideally you’d have done daffs and alliums, but tulips are better in the ground when the soil temperature gets a bit colder.
It’s good to leave some plant litter in the ground – it adds to the nutrients as it rots down, and provides shelter and food for insects. But remove the manky brown bits collapsing all over the lawn/winter structure.
Mulch – it not only suppresses weeds, but keeps the soil warm, improves water retention and adds a little winter duvet to your outside space.
October’s a good month for carrots, peas, asparagus, broad beans, and rhubarb.”
ANGELINA Jolie and rumoured boyfriend Akala stepped out in London together to celebrate the A-lister’s latest movie.
The 48-year-old star appeared at the BFI London Film Festival at the Royal Festival Hall on Friday night for a gala screening of Maria – which sees Angelina portray beloved opera singer, Maria Callas.
Looking fabulously chic in an all-black tailored suit, Angelina beamed as she walked the red carpet, keeping a hand in her pocket as she posed for the cameras.
Akala, 40, quickly followed, wearing a similar all-black suit with a navy scarf around his neck.
The British rapper, social activist and journalist has been rumoured to be connected to Angelina for the past year, with the pair being spotted around the world together.
However, neither party have confirmed any kind of romance, with Angelina having no public relationship since her split from Brad Pitt, with whom she split in 2016.
Brad and Angelina were together from 2004, and had a 12-year relationship and two-year marriage, as well as six children together, both adopted and biological.
Angelina’s connection to Akala dates back to November 2023, where they were seen leaving a restaurant in Milan while Angelina was filming her new biopic.
This August, Akala joined Angelina at the Venice Film Festival, where Maria first premiered, before leaving a hotel together.
At the beginning of October, he was in the crowd as Angelina took to the stage in New York for an event for her company, Atelier Jolie.
Celebrating artist Mustafa at 57 Great Jones, hosting a special listening party and panel discussion for his debut album, Dunya, Angelina took to the stage for a Q+A.
While they weren’t photographed together, Akala was a notable attendee with a photograph posted of him watching the discussion on the official Instagram.
It’s believed that the pair have become close friends over the years thanks to their shared political and social causes.
TMZ have reported that Akala has a girlfriend, who remains out of the public eye, but she is also close to Angelina with the trio “good friends”.
