“Zombie Plant” uses a unique trick to help itself live forever. Ferns are around 300 million years old.
Dead or wilted leaves from houseplants should always be picked off, as they not only look unsightly but can also be harmful to the plant's health. Add dead or dried leaves from garden or house plants to the compost. However, make sure that the leaves are free of diseases or pests. Larger leaves can be used to protect against frost on the vegetable patch. Twigs are also used as brushwood.
