Could this common appliance be silently killing your houseplants?

Dehumidifiers are brilliant for keeping damp and mould at bay, but while they're great at managing humidity levels, they could be quietly working against your houseplants. Most indoor greenery prefers a little moisture in the air, and when humidity levels drop too low, plants can start to show the strain. Crispy leaf tips, yellowing foliage and slow growth are all signs that your leafy companions may be feeling the effects of dry air.

Houseplant clinic: what are the tiny mushrooms growing in the soil of my plant?

What you are seeing are the fruiting bodies of fungi that were already present in the compost they're very common and usually nothing to panic about. These fungi thrive in moist, organic-rich soil, and mushrooms appear when conditions are just right, often after a period of regular watering and warm weather. While not harmful to your plant, they are toxic if eaten, so keep them out of reach of children and pets.
