For today’s post, I thought I’d share some of the post-move houseplant care that I’ve been working through this week here at houseplanthouse. I’ve spoken to a few of you since I posted about moving over on instagram recently who are also either about to move or are in the process of moving with your…

Today’s post is a ‘Repotting Diaries‘ from a session that I carried out a few weeks ago — I’m starting to pack now + I don’t generally like to re-pot too close to any re-location. I tackled some of those plants that really needed a re-pot before getting carefully boxed up — a couple of…

Welcome back! Today’s post is the first Repotting Diaries of the growing season + of 2021 too. Repotting is an aspect of plant care I find really therapeutic + a process I sorely miss over the Winter months. During the colder part of the year I rarely carry out any repotting (unless there’s an emergency)…

Whether you call them snake plants, ‘mother-in-laws tongue’, Sansevieria, or their newer reclassification ‘Dracaena’, these sculptural houseplants are a staple in many homes. They rose to popularity in the 70’s but with so many cultivars available today, it’s easy to see why snake plants are a great choice for a low-maintenance addition of greenery to…

Whether you choose to call this plant an epiphyllum anguliger, it’s newer reclassified name of disocactus anguliger, ric-rac cactus, orchid cactus, fishbone cactus or a zig-zag plant, we can all agree this houseplant is pretty cheerful to have around! Native to Mexico, this epiphytic cactus has a distinctive zig-zag stem shape + an easy going…
