'Tis the season to give and receive holiday plants. But how do you care for them? In this podcast, we provide an in-depth overview of some of the most popular plants of the season including Christmas Cactus, Cyclamen, Poinsettia, Amaryllis and Norfolk Pines to name a few.

Here are some of the questions Joanne and Matthew tackle in this week's episode of Down the Garden Path:

  • Is a cut Christmas tree more environmentally friendly than an artificial tree?
  • What is the best way to care for my real tree?
  • How do I take care of the potted tree I’m using inside as my Christmas tree?
  • How can I get the most out of my indoor live greens?
  • Do you have any suggestions for caring for my centrepiece? How long will it last?
  • Is there anything I can use to extend the life of my Christmas greens?
