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.

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.

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…

Today’s blogpost serves as a friendly reminder to clean the leaves on your houseplants. Every few months I like to share a post to this effect on my instagram as it’s a relatively mundane part of plant care that can sometimes be forgotten about, especially when it’s dark + grey outside! In this post I’ll…
