Experiments in indoor bulb growing

This year I decided to branch out from just planting my ‘usual’ bulbs on the balcony and plant some different indoor (in the UK climate at least!) bulbs too. On my balcony, I plant the obligatory tulips and daffodils annually, refresh my oxalis tubers and try some other bits and bobs. Lavender, peonies, and lots…

HPH houseplant winter care guide

For today’s post I wanted to share some tips for caring for your houseplants over winter. Here at HPH HQ, we are in the midst of winter (I’m based in the UK) and some of the annual occurrences have begun; the death of my parlour palm in my bathroom in the space of two weeks…

Repotting / kitchen table 🌿 I'm so pleased my #ficusbenghalensis Audrey is doing much better and there's a new leaf coming! I gave her a repot just now, and am looking forward to seeing her grow this year. I saw one last week that was taller than me, so that's what I'm aiming for...im pretty short really so hopefully it's not too long! 😅 Also getting potted is my crassula sarmentosa (two pots into one to save space) the usual tradescantia cuttings always hanging around, my variegated string of hearts and hoya pubicalyx #plantgang 🔸 🔸www.houseplanthouse.com🔸 . . . . . . . . . .
An update on some of my #colocasiajenningsii bulbs... They have the most beautiful luminescent glow with the light behind them, which really shows off their exquisite patterning. Though they were planted at the same time, the one on the right is about two weeks ahead of the plant on the left! The leaf on the right is the size of my hand 🖐🏻 Please update me if the ID is wrong or if you know this as a different variety (I bought these as jenningsii bulbs) 🌿#urbanjunglebloggers 🔸www.houseplanthouse.com🔸 . . . . . .
I just repotted one of my pots of #aspidistra which belonged to my grandparents. I decided to divide this little part of the plant as I love how delicate these two stems are in contrast to this brutalist feeling concrete pot, which lives on my bedside table. #heirloomhouseplants 🌿 also featuring my favourite ercol artists chair (as well as plants I have a 'thing' for mid century chairs, but luckily don't have as many chairs as plants!) #aspidistraaddict 🔸 As you will know if you've followed me for a while, I love hearing your stories about old plants. More recently, I have met some lovely people on @instagram who also share this interest and we have decided to launch a joint hashtag to celebrate your heirloom plant stories. The team consists of: @_houseplanthouse @sacredelements @fortandport and @farm.coast.house.plants 🔸 Please tag us with your heirloom plant stories on your posts or insta stories and we will share our favourites 💚🌿 🔸 NEW POST UP ON HPH ➡ MONSTERA MADNESS : A REPOTTING GUIDE 🔸www.houseplanthouse.com🔸 . . . . . . .
My smaller monstera before repotting! A few days ago, I carried out the pretty mammoth task of repotting both of my #monstera plants! It took a few hours but I'm so pleased to have got them into new pots, they were very root bound and in need of some love. I documented the process and have just put an accompanying blog post live with lots of photos of the process, and a repotting guide. I'll also be sharing some videos tomorrow on my @instagram stories. I'd love you to check it out (link in bio) #monsteramonday 🌿 #bloggersofig . . 🔸 NEW POST UP ON HPH ➡ MONSTERA MADNESS : A REPOTTING GUIDE www.houseplanthouse.com 🔸 . . .
A view from underneath my string of pearls, let's take a moment to appreciate their extraordinary form! #seneciorowleyanus are definitely in need of a repot, I've kept them in their tall orchid pot for over a year but it's time for something slightly bigger. The roots are quite fine so I want to plant it in a more suitable container, because it's quite long now and getting a bit top heavy. 🌿 #urbanjungle . . 🔸 www.houseplanthouse.com 🔸 . . .
Despite being quite scared of my #calatheawhitestar when I got her a few months ago, she's doing alright, and has a new leaf unfurling! Regular misting definitely helps keeps the leaves nice and clean and I am pretty mesmerised when they close up at night. Its currently 10.30pm and I'm working on my computer looking at the leaves closed up, I'll put a photo up on my @instagram stories as a comparison! 🌿 🔸 Share your pink plants with us@therealhouseplantsof_ig by using our tag #onwednesdaysweplantpink 💕 . . . 🔸 www.houseplanthouse.com 🔸 . . .
These three pots of #sansevieria trifasciata laurentii are all odd bits and bobs off other plants, I keep thinking I should pot them together, but I quite like them clustered in a group like this. I looked back on my feed and found a photo of them from October, and I'm pleased to see how much they have grown in this time (especially the one at the back, which is my oldest snake plant)! I'll show you on my @instagram stories later today 🌿 also need to pot the zz raven stem that's been rooting for absolutely ages! #sansevieriasunday . . 🔸 www.houseplanthouse.com 🔸 . . .
I'm pretty happy with my #neonpothos that I grew from a single leaf cutting, it's slowly starting to fill out into a luminous pot that brightens up my plant shelf no end! #epipremnumaureum #foliageFriday 🌿 🔸 . . . 🔸If you find the colour of these plants intimidating, I've got a blog post up on HPH with ideas of how to style in your space... just search 'neon pothos' www.houseplanthouse.com 🔸 . . .
