This is the first instalment of a 2-part blogpost, in which I’ll be focusing on pots + planters.

In Part 2 of this Edinburgh instalment of ‘HPH visits…‘ we are going to be heading slightly North of the city for a walk around Stockbridge. Stockbridge is the area I always choose to stay when I visit this part of Scotland + I stumbled upon it completely by coincidence around 5 years ago after…

It’s no secret that my big Monstera is my favourite houseplant here at houseplanthouse. I think I’m most drawn to the large green leaves + human scale of the plant which instantly brightens up a room + brings it to life. Even if you only have a few plants, a Monstera can become a stand-out…

I can also attest to their lure, because it’s one of…

Welcome back! Today’s post is the first Repotting Diaries of the growing season + of 2021 too. Repotting is an aspect of plant care I find really therapeutic + a process I sorely miss over the Winter months. During the colder part of the year I rarely carry out any repotting (unless there’s an emergency)…

This time last year, I shared a post about how to get your houseplants ready for Spring + with the changing of the clocks last weekend, it seems a good time to revisit this. This winter was the first full season my plants + I spent in a colder location + as such, this topic…

I currently have two Peperomia hopes in my collection + whenever I share a photo of either plants over on Instagram I always get some questions about their growth habit + more specifically, how I’ve got my plants to trail in the way they do! A lot of plants have a tendency to grow horizontally…
