None in the house or in the garden.

Loads but they are all plastic ones from TK Maxx. I love plants but they die at my hands. Thankfully "the Maxx" have some decent realistic looking ones that I buy fancy pots for and hang in a bit of macrame from my windows.

None, sadly. A shame because they have a calming effect and create a good vibe in a house.

Unfortunately, they'd probably due in my hands as I'd consistently forget to water them

If only lust and liberty was navigable from London. I'd have been more than happy to take these off your hands.

I have over 30 houseplants iirc. My favourite is the variegated Monstera I bought from Columbia Road.

I thought I'd better count mine after asking the question and I'm actually pretty surprised that I have 77!

I have decided that fellow plant keepers are a definite green flag and a couple of you avid keepers were already on my hot list

Ooh nice. I'm a tad jealous. Now that's a pic I'd get excited at seeing!

And London is a direct train from where I am.

I think you should list them. All of them. Which is your favourite?

We could hotlist those with the most impressive plants.

I have an Orchid. People keep giving me Orchids. IThe stress involved in trying to keep them alive is giving me more grey hairs than being a parent!!

I feel guilty when I inevitably end up pruning too hard, over/under watering, killing them. This one, however, seems to be ok for now.

Just counted 14 in the front room, but they're mostly small ones including 3 diff spider, 2 different trads, polka dot plant, satin pothos and another variegated one.

Back room there's about 12 incl trads, monkey mask, calathea, 2 diff pothos, umbrella, snake, and another I can't remember the name of.

I really need to do some repotting

I don't know half of their names!

My favourites are probably my lemon scented geranium, tradescantia and my Boston fern.

I have a dozen orchids and people bring me theirs to revive and then take them home again. I've a fair few succulents and cacti. It's a lot of watering in the summer though. My trick is that I use the dirty fish tank water. Makes for happy plants in this house

Thanks to the oldest obsession my windowsill is filled with an array of cacti and succulents. Think it was well into double figures last time I looked. She likes to rescue the sad looking ones and nurse them back to health.

Ooh loads, but they are all spider plants, peace lily, monstera, cactus, chinese money plant and pelargoniums . I have learnt over the years what I can keep alive and it is all of the above. I do buy ferns but they need regularly replacing as the just die, strange, considering how cold and damp and dark my house is. Maybe I should try moss
