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…

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…

In this repotting diaries I’m paying attention to my manjula pothos, maranta, some sansevieria/dracaena plants + at the end of the post, showing some of my newest houseplant purchases I posted on my instagram the other week.

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…

I love witnessing the ebbs and flows in plant popularity, both in the shop and on instagram too. I can usually tell when a plant has got a lot of hype around it, or if it has ‘hit the mainstream’ when my non-planty friends (yes have tried to convert them, but no it hasn’t worked…

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,…
