Today’s post is all about my favourite houseplants to grow in west facing rooms. This is an orientation that I love — it’s such an adaptable setting for houseplant growing + it can facilitate favourable conditions for a relatively wide range of plants. Whilst Southern exposures are lovely + bright their light intensity can be…

In today’s post we are focusing on houseplants that can tolerate that bright South-facing room in your space. Southern spaces are highly coveted when house-hunting, with rooms bathed in a balmy golden light for a good amount of the day in the Spring + Summer months.

Hello, Laura from the future here (well…November 2020)! I’m popping in at the start of this post to say I’ve spent this week updating it since originally posting this in December 2018. You might remember that I moved this year + I’m living in a colder part of the country, so now more than ever,…

It’s that time of year again isn’t it?! There has been a definite drop in temperatures + the sun seems to have made a departure from Northern skies for most of this week. Even though I’m not working at a University now, I can’t help but still get those ‘new term‘ feelings when September rolls…
