White ZZ plants are not exactly “White” but have a tint of yellow and white on the leaves, which makes them appear very different from the regular green and rare black types.

Pothos is a fantastic pick with its vibrant green or variegated leaves and lush tropical vibes. While generally easy to grow, you might face challenges, like pothos leaves turning pale yellow or white. Don’t panic! White leaves are a common issue, and most times, you can rescue your plant.
Before you get into the confusion, let’s make it clear that some Pothos naturally have white or pale patches on their leaves – ‘Marble Queen,’ ‘Manjula,’ and ‘N’Joy’ are some of the varieties with white hues on the foliage.
Low light may not exactly turn the leaves into a shade of white, but will surely make them appear dull. For a healthy and greener foliage, make sure the plant gets bright and indirect light all day long.

leads to waterlogged soil, depriving roots of oxygen and nutrients, which results in discolored or pale leaves.Solution: Trim brown and mushy leaves to help the plant focus its energy on healthy growth. Water only when the topsoil feels a little dry to the touch.
Chlorosis, or yellowing/whitening of leaves, can occur due to lack of essential nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, or molybdenum.
Solution: Use a balanced liquid feed, once in 3-4 weeks, after diluting it to half of its strength.
Powdery mildew, a common fungal infection, can lead to white or grey, powder-like spots on the leaves. As you know, it thrives in high-humidity environments.
The fine webs of the spider mites can also make the leaves appear white from a distance.
Solution: To prevent spread, discard affected plant parts and improve air circulation. Apply organic fungicides like neem oil – following label instructions.

This list is divided into two parts–Geraniums and Pelargoniums! Each variety brings grace and beauty in the form of flowers, especially when paired with other colorful species.
This is a purposeful moment in the vegetable garden. Spring is in the air and I’m gearing up for the busiest time of year. You can start sowing hardy crops such as broad beans, chard, beetroot, lettuce and carrots. But the weather and soil can still be cold in March, so only sow seeds outdoors if you are feeling confident it is warm enough. Alternatively – and, I think, preferably – you can start sowing these crops under cover, either germinating them indoors and growing them on in a cold frame, or in a greenhouse. Sowing seeds in trays and modules gives you more control, as you can plant them out as seedlings rather than taking the risk of leaving them to germinate in the ground. A compromise is to sow seeds in raised troughs, where the soil will be warmer and you can cover them with cloches or panes of glass to protect them further. However, onion sets and garlic can be planted straight out in the garden now.

I planted bare-root raspberries “Autumn Bliss” a few years ago. The first year all but one plant died. Thinking I had neglected them, I bought more bare-root plants and planted them in the same bed and these all lived. In their first year, they only produced a few raspberries, but last year they fruited well.
