The Step-by-Step System I Use To Manage My Houseplant Collection
Click below to watch the short video!
You love houseplants.
You’ve got more than a few.
(10, 20… maybe even 50 or more.)
But as your collection’s grown, so has the chaos.
One day without watering turns into five.
You forget which plant got what.
You’re Googling “brown spots on Monstera” at 11:43pm, hoping for a miracle.
And suddenly, what was once a joyful hobby becomes something that leaves you second-guessing yourself.
Sound familiar?
You’re not alone (and it’s not your fault either).
Most plant advice out there is theory:
Water this much. Fertilise this often. Use this soil mix.
But what if what you really needed wasn’t more information, it was a structure?
That’s why I created The Confident Plant Parent System.
Over 500 people have taken my houseplant programs to grow amazing plants from home.
If you're already a houseplant lover and want an easy replicable system to look after your green friends, then this is for you.
A system for people who already love plants — but want more order, clarity, and confidence.
This is for plant owners who are tired of:
❌ Panic-troubleshooting symptoms with no clear next step
❌ Wondering if they’re overwatering or underwatering
❌ Forgetting what to do when the seasons change.
❌ Skipping propagation because they don’t feel confident
❌ Feeling overwhelmed by a growing collection and no routine
If that’s you, I built this for you.
Over the last few years, I’ve tested, tweaked, and refined a simple 5-part loop that keeps my 200+ plants alive (and thriving), and I’m finally sharing it.
1. Audit
Quickly check your entire plant collection using a stress-free observation routine.
✔ Know what’s thriving, what’s stable, and what needs attention.
✔ Learn how to spot hidden issues (before they get worse).
✔ Build this into your week without adding a new “task.”
2. Adjust
Make small, smart changes that prevent 90% of plant problems.
✔ How to tweak light, placement, or soil (no gear required).
✔ When to repot (and when not to).
✔ How to water based on your home’s conditions.
3. Respond
Handle issues like yellowing leaves, pests, and droopiness without panic.
✔ Use a calm, confident troubleshooting system
✔ Understand which signs matter (and which don’t).
✔ Learn when to act, and when to wait.
4. Refresh
Build a monthly and seasonal care rhythm that actually sticks.
✔ Know exactly when to fertilise, prune, clean, or rotate.
✔ Avoid maintenance pile-ups and last-minute repotting scrambles.
✔ Keep plants healthy year-round (without thinking about it 24/7).
5. Multiply
Propagate like a pro
✔ Learn the easiest, most forgiving methods.
✔ Know which plants are ready and what signs to look for.
✔ Grow your collection (or gift it) without the stress.

Richard here!
When lockdown hit, I suddenly found myself diving headfirst into the world of plant care.
That started as a humble housewarming present blossomed into a bustling jungle of over 200 thriving plants.
Mastering the art of plant parenthood is a real journey. Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as watering your plants and crossing your fingers.
Along the way, I've learned the value of dedication, finding the right mentor, and fully immersing myself.
If you're someone who wants to get all of the information you need to successfully grow just about any houseplant, then you're going to love it here...
Example Curriculum
Here's what people like you have had to say about my other houseplant programs...
"This is a must have for anyone who loves plants!!"
"Richard does an amazing job of explaining propagation in a way that’s both clear and engaging. Even if you are a complete beginner (like I am!) you will walk away feeling confident about giving it a try. I love the easy to follow instructions in both videos where each of the steps are broken down perfectly so you know exactly what to do.
A fantastic resource for anyone who wants to propagate their plants. Very informative and engaging, you will be inspired to fill your home with even more greenery!”

"It was very detailed and showed me how to propagate a variety of plants step by step. Richard’s instructions were clear and precise and very easy to follow.

"I have learnt so much from both your YT channel and also from the course. The advantage of the course is that in one platform, you have gathered all that is necessary to be successful as a houseplant grower.... The course highlights the several do's and don'ts, in very simple steps.I appreciate that. I believe my plants ought to behave themselves going forward."
"Jam packed full of great information"
"The class was jam packed full of great information. It is truly a plant parenting class and well worth the investment. I have been a long time plant parent and found the information useful. I recommend this class to every plant parent."

🤔 Do I need any prior plant knowledge to enrol in this course?
Not at all. This course is perfect for absolute beginners who want an easy way to look after their budding collection—but and also for those who have lots of experience growing plants at home and want an easier way to manage their indoor jungle.
🏡 Can I still benefit from the program if I only have limited space for plants in my home?
Absolutely. This courses apply just as much to someone wanting to grow just one plant, as someone who wants to grow 100.
