If you're going to try and turn your home into a jungle, with leafy plants covering every free surface, then you've got to be prepared to look after your plants.
You need to keep them watered, make sure they've got enough light - but sometimes even the most protective plant parent faces the heartbreak of losing one of their plants.
But before you write it off and head to the garden centre to buy a new one, it might be worth trying one little trick first.
Mum who thought her kitchen floor was dark grey disgusted to learn the truth
A mum from Australia has shared the very simple way she managed to revive her droopy and sad-looking plants.
And all you need to do it is one very specific thing - epsom salts.
In a post on Facebook she revealed that she gives her plants a bath and mixes in some of the salts.

She shared several photos of the plants, providing a before and after look to show just how much difference the magic ingredient made.
The unnamed woman captioned the post: "A few inches of water in the bath with Epsom salts and I give the leaves a shower to get dust etc off and keep it happy."
She adds: "I have to use them (the salts) myself and it was always sold out because gardeners would use it on their plants, that's what gave me the idea."

The woman went on to say that she usually uses about a handful of salts in a few inches of water and then leaves the plant to soak overnight if it's looking particularly sad and dehydrated.
A plant doctor told Metro.co.uk that Epsom salts could be useful for treating a plant with a magnesium deficiency - but added that most plants are droopy for other reasons, which won't be helped by the salts.
It could be a case that you are giving your plant too much or too little water and need to adjust this accordingly.
They recommend fully assessing your plant's symptoms before trying any home-remedies out yourself.
