    Hi everyone,

    My name is Andrew, and I'm a 25y old from Ontario, Canada. I'm not exactly an avid gardener, but since I picked up a young spider plant two years ago and let it multiply I've kept my fair share of houseplants.

    Current collection is just 5 spider plants (non-variegated) and a ~2y old Fiddle-Leaf Fig. I took these out last year from late April to late October. It can be tough keeping a lot of outdoor plants indoors all winter, especially when space is at a premium!

    Nice to meet you all!

    Andrew M.

    Hello, Andrew, and welcome to the Stew! I'm a houseplant killer, so I try to stick to the garden plants. Looking forward to stewing with you.

    Welcome @Andrew McColl!
    First it's one spider plant, then it's five, then it's a fiddle leaf fig. Then... you are buying a place in the country for your jungle :stew1:
