With Autumn well + truly here in the UK, my houseplants are getting ready for their winter rest. My focus this time of year is making sure my plants are in the best position possible to tackle the lower light levels + cooler temperatures (more on that in my ‘Getting your houseplants ready for Autumn’…

As I was doing a bit of last-minute repotting over the weekend before Autumn properly sets in, I thought I would turn the camera away from my plants for a minute + chat a little bit about the potting mix I tend to make up for my houseplants, because it’s a question I get asked…

It feels like a few weeks since I did any proper repotting here at HPH! As I’ve stressed in my other posts in this series, it’s good practice to only re-pot your houseplants when it really is needed + not just for the sake of it (or only for instagram photos!). Over the last few…

Two weeks ago I asked on my instagram if you had any monstera repotting questions… + you certainly did! I planned on combining a few questions with my repotting post but there ended up being quite a few things you wanted to know! I’ll answer those queries here + show you my repotting process in…

As I’ve said in the previous two posts in this series, these posts are intended to be short…

After giving my balcony herb garden to my sister when I moved, I was missing my fragrant doorstep greenery that had taken up permanent residence in front of the battered french doors five years ago. They looked pretty unassuming (not really looking like they were growing much yet slowly but surely getting fuller) but definitely…

In addition to my longer-form plant care blogposts + ephemeral images I post here on HPH, I thought it would be a nice addition to share some more everyday planty jobs as I go about them, a bit of a ‘what’s on my potting table’ / repotting diary if you will. I’ll make it a…

Possibly one of my favourite houseplants is my Stromanthe sanguinea triostar — I’ve had this beauty for a few years + after a couple of re-pots it has grown to a pretty considerable size! Today I’m going to share what to look out for if you think your plant needs repotting + show you the…
