A Third of Household Houseplants Are Dead or Dying at Any Given Time

A household survey of plant survival across 284 homes, and what happens once someone is named responsible.

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement surveys 284 households on houseplant condition, finding survival rates cluster near ceiling wherever a household names a plant carer and spread low and wide otherwise, a split the University has adopted as the basis for a residence-wide Plant Welfare Officer mandate.
