@BesianaX This is so exciting! It’s great to see Basil on the world stage!

@BesianaX @benitez_lab @Ana_CanoDelgado @samamsbury I didn’t see these messages! Great joke Besiana, you’re such a fun-gal (trying to link it to your PhD!)

[Benitez-Alfonso lab @benitez_lab]

Congratulations to the new Dr (with minor corrections) in the Benitez-Alfonso lab/ house @KirkPip. THANK YOU to super examiners Brendan Davies and @Ana_CanoDelgado . I (and all your friends at Leeds) can't wait to celebrate this milestone

[Benitez-Alfonso lab @benitez_lab]

Extremely glad to share the latest work of my team @benitez_lab published today @BMCBiology. This is a mammoth effort lead by @KirkPip supported by @samamsbury and @liamgerman with contributions that start from when @rociogauped was a PhD student. 1/5 https://t.co/4VGkj9Z5FH

@SuruchiRoy1 @houseplanthour Sure! Do you want to pick it up from Somerset 😂. Next time I’m heading up I’ll drop you off one Suruchi!

Hi everyone, this is my Plectranthus verticillatus (Swedish ivy but comes from SA). This is a cutting of my grandparent’s plant that they have had since the 70’s. Great for those shady corners. Super easy to grow and propagate. This plant is precious to me @houseplanthour.

[Phil Kirk @KirkPip]

@Celiawood18 @houseplanthour Yeah it’s loving life! I’ve been growing cuttings of this plant for years but this is the best so far and I put it down to mixing lots of grit in with the compost. This cutting is only a year old too!

[Phil Kirk @KirkPip]

@JennyThumbs @houseplanthour I mulch all my plants with grit and I’ve not had a problem with gnats since. The grit looks cool too. Make sure not to water plants too much either

[Phil Kirk @KirkPip]

It’s neither Swedish or an ivy!

[houseplanthour @houseplanthour]

@StumpedGrad I think it depends on the pet! I’m lucky that my cat doesn’t seem to be interested (apart from using them as a pillow).

Hey everyone!

My name is Jade (@jade_bleau) and I’m very excited to be hosting this week's #HouseplantHour. I can’t wait to hear about all your houseplants!

@houseplanthour @theapetrou @jade_bleau You can share mine Jade!

@Joekaryotic Some people's job is to exploit people but I know what you're getting at lol

[Phil Kirk @KirkPip]

@Joekaryotic Don't you technically profit from deadly disease as a researcher of pathogens 🤔?

[Phil Kirk @KirkPip]

@benitez_lab 😭 cheers Yoselin!
