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…

New leaves and new blooms, things are growing and it’s hot hot hot — really feeling like Summer at last.
