Propagate with me: how to root snake plants, zz plants + tips for successful propagations

As much as I love my larger plants here at HOUSEPLANTHOUSE, houseplant propagation is a real hobby of mine. I don’t know if it’s the lure of making new plants for free, or that the process feels like I’m getting to understand how my houseplants ‘work‘… whatever it is, I’m forever fascinated with propagating something!…

How to make a new tradescantia plant from cuttings

It’s that time of year again… last week I got my scissors out and cut back my tradescantia fluminensis tricolour entirely. My plant fared surprisingly well during the move but as Spring growth kicked in, my plant was looking a little… straggly. I think this is the third cycle of cutting I have done with…

How to propagate pilea babies

Today’s post is a reader request that concerns pilea babies – specifically, what to do with them when they start popping up from your ‘main’ mother plant.

Something I’ve been thinking about recently is how my taste in plants has shifted and developed over the last few years, through owning a lot, selling plants for work and seeing plants on Instagram… all. the. time. This year, I would say that I have a newfound fascination with some plants that really didn’t bother…

Succulent propagation update

As I’ve been sorting my plants out for cooler weather, I thought I’d share an update with some of my succulent propagations that are dotted around my apartment. I seem to find leaves all over the place, and always still get a little excited when I spot roots or baby plants forming with absolutely no…

Plant swapping: plant mail is the best mail

Today we are talking plant swapping… because swapping isn’t technically buying more plants! If you’ve read my blog for a while, you’ll know about houseplantswap.com ; a site set up by my lovely friend Brad for our group ‘The Real Houseplants of Instagram’; to easily facilitate the swapping of plants for our plant community.

Avocado growing: Why everyone should grow an avocado plant

Today, I wanted to share a really rewarding growing experience that has taken me a little by surprise. Over the last year I’ve eaten many avocados; in guacamole, on toast, blended to make healthy chocolate mousse (sounds strange but is yummy!)… and as a result, have had lots of pits rolling around my kitchen counter.…

How to propagate succulents

I thought it was about time that I shared some of my experiences with succulent propagation as I get a lot of questions over on Instagram.
