When vacations approach, the threat for your houseplants is imminent. Tips for watering, adjusting their exposure to light or protecting them against pests, Youtuber Marion Botanical has a host of ideas to help our green friends get through this period. Tested and approved.

“If I can do it, you can do it too.” Marion Botanical is a French Youtuber who specialises in plants. Her apartment is home to around a hundred of them! She decided to turn her passion for her “little forest” into a YouTube channel where she shares advice for how to care for them – and she’s built up a community of fans.

Is her success down to her pedagogical approach? At least in part, because this plant lover is also a teacher by day. She’s shared her best tips for taking care of plants (and keeping them alive), even during a long absence.
