Today’s blogpost has been in my drafts for a while, but with the current travel restrictions, it didn’t really seem like the right time to publish the piece. Even though I don’t have any plans to go anywhere this year, I wanted to share my tips on houseplant holiday care in case you are planning…

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’ve just spent a few hours feeding my houseplants (a nice task for the weekend as Monty would say) and thought I would share some HPH tips I have picked up along the way. The first time I remember being taught about plant feeding was sitting on a stool in my grandpa’s greenhouse as a…

It’s about time to have another chat about the reality of keeping a houseplant collection… by that, I am referring to the arduous task of pest control. I got such a positive response about my first post on this topic I wrote in May, I wanted to follow it up with another as I’m currently…
