The struggle to keep my plants off the dining table continues… the afternoon light is just too lovely in this spot to not pop a couple on there! ✨🌱

#Marantamonday 🪴 This Maranta leuconeura var. kerchoveana. (bit of a tongue twister of a name!) is one of those houseplants that I’ve had for longer than I can actually remember. It’s commonly known as ‘rabbit tracks Maranta’ and the colour combination of dark brown splotches on the blue-green foliage is so striking! I love this plant because it’s resilient and tolerates periods of neglect way better than other prayer plants in my experience.

#tradescantiafluminensistricolor propagations are now looking like an actual little plant! 🙌 There are 8 weeks between the first photo and the other two if you swipe to see. After potting up the cuttings they can look a bit dishevelled for a few weeks (the middle photo) but the pot is now starting to look like a plant again!

That May Day evening glow making my #philodendronbrasil look all luminous and lovely. ✨✨✨

Hello! 👋🏼It’s been a busy few weeks here with the renovation. Here’s a #throwbackthursday from the cottage last year - some of you might remember this view. I loved the light in this spot and my big Monstera did too. I bought this vintage MOD drawer unit from an auction (to the right of the photo) with a view to use is as a vanity. Fast forward over a year later and we are getting ready to transform it. I’ll share a renovation update tomorrow as there’s been some pretty big progress!

A #throwbackthursday from my big Monstera in my old apartment just before the big move. Longer time followers will know that this was ‘House Plant House 1.0’ and where I started the website and this insta after finishing my PhD. Clearly, I haven’t got fed up of writing as I’m still at it nearly 6 years later! 😊🪴

First repotting session of the season! 🍃🧡 Here are some of the plants I repotted over the Spring equinox weekend - I focused on a mixture of potting up some winter propagations that have been waiting patiently, and some of my smaller plants that required the most attention.

A #throwbackthursday for #trailingthingsthursday to my old plant shelf - my Marble Queen Pothos LOVED it here, just look at those beautiful leaves! 😍

#tradescantiafluminensistricolor cuttings doing their thing. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve cut my pots of tradescantia back to make way for new Spring growth! Plants don’t always look their best, but that’s just the reality of keeping a plant collection.
