A HPH guide to hard-to-kill houseplants

Today’s post is my top 10 easy-care, hard-to-kill houseplants + the second in my series of ‘HPH guides’, after putting together the low light tolerant article that went up a few weeks ago. Soon after sharing that one, I got a call from a friend that prompted me to write this particular guide next… The…

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…

These #tradescantiafluminensistricolor cuttings have been in water longer than I care to admit, so it’s time to pot up! (I’ll show you later on stories)🪴💕 Today’s blogpost is an exciting one as it’s the first repotting diaries of the growing season — hooray! 🎉
You might remember these monstera adansonii stems I’ve been propagating... well today I potted up some of them up to make a new little plant! Not all of the stems have rooted yet (they can be very slow in cold weather!) but they haven’t rotted either so I’ll keep waiting to see if anything happens now that Spring is here!🤞🏻 #monsteramonday 🌱 🍃
If you need a little bit of direction or encouragement to get prepping your houseplants for Spring, today’s blogpost is for you! 🐣Writing this update post has really motivated me to get going with my Spring plant care — because this year more than ever, my plants could definitely do with some care and attention — it was a long winter!
My hanging plant gang are all lined up ready for a bit of a haircut! — 🍃💇🏻‍♀️
My begonia sisters in the 5pm golden light… the evenings are getting lighter at last! 🍃☀️
Happy #monsteramonday from me + my biggest plant! 👋🏻💚 My three monsteras are all in desperate need of a re-pot so I’m psyching myself up for this hefty task! (I’m planning on tackling it on the weekend...) Whilst it’s a big job to do them all in one session, I prefer to make up a big tub of my potting mix, put some music on, make a coffee...or three(!)+ slowly work through it. It’s been a long, cold winter here so it’s time to give these plants a bit of love + attention! 😊
Today’s blogpost is my top 10 hard-to-kill houseplants, some of which are in this photo! The plants I’ve featured are all ones I have had personal experience with growing for a number of years. I’ve chosen them based on their resilience + longevity in my home + they are also ones that I recommend to my customers or clients + often use when plant styling for new plant lovers💚
