Stromanthe thalia triostar Care Guide

I’m not entirely sure what it is about my Stromanthe that just makes me smile when I see it — I think it’s a combination of how the array of colours on the foliage seem to perk up whatever room I pop it in, along with it’s co-ordinating turned-leg, light pink planter which just seems…

A HPH guide to low light tolerant houseplants

The most commonly asked customer question I’ve encountered since working with houseplants is without a doubt ‘…what plants are best for a place that doesn’t get a lot of light?!’. And it’s a good question. A question that I have been sorely reminded of this winter in this black hole of a cottage, whilst frantically…

HPH photo diary / 10. — Signs of Spring

Wild weather fluctuations but a change is in the air. Hopefully the last of the snow in the coldest Winter for a decade. The Sun has some warmth to it at last + the light is stretching into corners of the cottage that have been consistently gloomy. Clouds like paintings reflected in puddles + more…

Fittonia: Nerve Plant Care Guide

Fittonia come in a rainbow of colours but are notorious for being a pretty fussy plant. When I shared a photo of my plant at the end of last year over on my instagram, I received LOTS of messages asking how I have kept mine alive for so many years + for a blogpost that…

HPH visits… The Barbican Conservatory

Today’s post is the third in my HPH visits… series + the first of 2021. As I’ve said previously, this seasonal shift means that houseplant repotting will pause for a few months as many plants take their winter rest. So in lieu of my regular ‘repotting diaries’ blogposts (+ as we are spending more time…

Kalanchoe orgyalis ‘copper spoons’ care guide

Today’s post is a reader request + is all about caring for kalanchoe orgyalis, aka ‘copper spoons‘ plant. This cinnamon coloured plant with silver undersides is one of my favourite succulents in my collection because of it’s unique colouring + easy-going nature — it basically thrives on neglect here at HPH! This copper spoons kalanchoe…

Tradescantia nanouk: growth update, propagation + FAQ’s

If you follow my houseplanthouse page over on instagram, you might have seen how my tradescantia nanouk has flourished from a pretty tiny plant, through multiple re-pots, into something slightly out of control within the space of ten months or so! I can always tell when I’m captivated by a plant when I share it…

Throughout the post, I’ll be explaining the most popular processes alongside…

HPH photo diary / 09. Low Sun

Still more snow flurries this month but lots of clear + bright days too —the kind of sunlight that calls for the enjoyable coupling of sunglasses + beret. The fields look entirely different when covered by a blanket of white, but it doesn’t last longer than a day or two before it dissipates. Muddy boots…

There’s a nanouk propagation update coming soon — I conducted a little plant experiment which I will put together in a post next week 😊 — I just need the sun to come back out so that I can shoot the update images! ☀️ 💕
Even though it’s got a bit spindly over winter, I love the way my begonia looks like a little leaning, polka dot sculpture 🪴 + there is also the cutest new growth popping up at the base (pic on stories)! After yesterdays post, a few of you wanted to have a better look at my #begoniamaculatawightii — so here it is! I propagated this in water + in a few weeks I will have a look at the roots to see if it needs repotting. Happy #begoniamonday ! ✨🌼
Today’s blogpost is all about low light tolerant houseplants, of which, these are a few… I couldn’t fit them all into the shot!
A closer look at my big peperomia hope — I’ve grown this from a small plant + it really enjoys this specific position — 1 metre away from a south-east window! This time of year I water it around once a month from the bottom using a drip tray + it’s been doing ok considering the low temperatures here. I’ve found that giving the top of the pot adequate light has really helped to keep my plant looking full — this winter I’ve also used a grow light on it which seems to have helped it along. 💚
The cutest iridescent leaf ☀️ 🍃✨#monsteramonday
Really can’t wait to go thrifting again. If you’ve been at HPH at while, or know me IRL you’ll know I love interior decor as much as houseplants! It’s been a weird year, being in a temporary place + not being able to express my style when my living space often feels like a houseplant storage area(!), but this photo reminds me of all the fun that goes into sourcing furniture pieces that have been in my collection for a long time now... 🪑🪴✨
I am a big fan of these trailing plants together — I think the leaves really complement each other! 💕🍃
