House plants

I am not good with plants, so when a plant not only survives but thrives, I am amazed and so grateful! This one was probably only about 5cm tall, and in a tiny pot, when I got given it. Now look at it! Yesterday I realised it was in desperate need of re-potting so I have used a much bigger pot, filled with my garden compost, and crossed my fingers that it wasn't too traumatised, and that it will continue to enjoy this position with dual-aspect windows facing south and west.

This is my avocado plant, grown from the stone which germinated in my compost heap. It enjoys this position as well, facing south but with the west window next to it, for afternoon and evening sun. I think it is about two years old now. If it survives to ten years old it could produce avocados!
