About Plant Help


Plant Help is a straightforward resource for anyone trying to keep their plants alive and thriving. We cover indoor plants, outdoor gardens, balcony setups, and everything in between, with advice that actually works in Australian conditions.

The site is written by Nina Caruso, a Melbourne-based plant enthusiast who turned a cramped apartment balcony into a full urban garden. After killing more plants than she cares to admit in her twenties, she spent years learning what actually works through trial, error, and a lot of reading.

We focus on practical, no-nonsense advice. If a plant is fussy and not worth the effort, we will tell you. If there is a simple fix for yellowing leaves, we will explain it without making you read ten paragraphs first. Every guide is written with Australian seasons, light conditions, and climate in mind.

Whether you are nursing your first fiddle leaf fig or planning a full veggie patch, Plant Help is here to make it simpler.
