I thought I’d share my repotting from last weekend in this Repotting diaries… over the last few weeks I’d been aware that some of the plants in this post were needing watering more often (a tell-tale sign they might need a bigger pot) + when I checked, three of them were growing roots out of…

This week I’ve really been getting on top of my plant care + it feels good. I did a bit of a plant-pot-swap-around with some of my outdoor plants to free up some pots to use for this. I’m low on potting supplies so have just used what I’ve got for now… during this batch…

Perhaps the most prized plant in my collection at home is my big monstera, I say big (I call her ‘big one’) as I have a little one too (which goes by that name, inventive I know!) ‘Big one’ is one of the oldest plants of mine and I grew it from a small plant,…

For todays post I wanted to share the process of repotting a vintage plant that I’ve had in my family for over 30 years!
