THE OH SHOOT! PLANT CARE LIBRARY
A to Z Houseplant Care Guides
Find your plant. Open the guide. Work out what it actually needs.
Straightforward houseplant care covering light, watering, humidity, temperature, feeding, soil and roots, propagation (new plants grown from part of an existing plant), maintenance, pests and common problems.
PLANT CARE WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK
Your Plant Library, All in One Place
Not sure how often to water your Alocasia? Wondering where your Monstera should live? Trying to work out whether your fern needs more humidity or is just being dramatic?
Search by plant name or jump straight to a letter. Each guide breaks the important bits down into useful, understandable plant care.
Built from the same practical plant care advice we use every day in the Jungle and through our Plant Clinic in Congleton.
WHAT WILL YOU FIND INSIDE?

The Library Is Growing
New care guides are being added regularly as the library grows. Check back soon, or visit the Plant Clinic if you need help in the meantime.
DON’T KNOW THE EXACT PLANT NAME?
Start With the Plant Type
If you know roughly what kind of plant you have, or just want to browse, use these routes to narrow the Jungle down.
CAN’T FIND YOUR PLANT?
The Library Is Still Growing
If the guide you need is missing, tell us the plant name or show us what you have. We can point you in the right direction and use requests to shape the next guides we create.
SOMETIMES A CARE GUIDE ISN’T ENOUGH
Still Not Looking Right?
If the plant is yellowing, drooping, covered in marks or doing something that makes absolutely no sense, we can take the investigation further.
FIND IT. UNDERSTAND IT. KEEP IT HAPPY.
