I’ve been thinking a lot about light over the last few weeks — not just with the change in the seasons (…how is it Autumn?!), but also from being in a different, new place. I’ve been getting acquainted with how the light moves around the space —including letting out audible gasps at times when the…

For today’s post we’re talking plant care + I’ve put together an Asparagus Fern care guide. I’m back in writing mode + am currently working through some reader requests, so I hope you find this post helpful if you have, or have been thinking about getting hold of one of these softly draping, gently sculptural…

Today’s blogpost has been in my drafts for a while, but with the current travel restrictions, it didn’t really seem like the right time to publish the piece. Even though I don’t have any plans to go anywhere this year, I wanted to share my tips on houseplant holiday care in case you are planning…

Today’s post is a much-requested one which has admittedly taken some time to prepare because it involves quite a big task — repotting my 3 Monstera plants! I trialled an all-in-one-day repotting session with my 3 Monsteras last year + found it to be a surprisingly good way to tackle the task, because it always…

This time last year, I shared a post about how to get your houseplants ready for Spring + with the changing of the clocks last weekend, it seems a good time to revisit this. This winter was the first full season my plants + I spent in a colder location + as such, this topic…

I currently have two Peperomia hopes in my collection + whenever I share a photo of either plants over on Instagram I always get some questions about their growth habit + more specifically, how I’ve got my plants to trail in the way they do! A lot of plants have a tendency to grow horizontally…

I’m not entirely sure what it is about my Stromanthe that just makes me smile when I see it — I think it’s a combination of how the array of colours on the foliage seem to perk up whatever room I pop it in, along with it’s co-ordinating turned-leg, light pink planter which just seems…

The most commonly asked customer question I’ve encountered since working with houseplants is without a doubt ‘…what plants are best for a place that doesn’t get a lot of light?!’. And it’s a good question. A question that I have been sorely reminded of this winter in this black hole of a cottage, whilst frantically…
