Repotting Diaries #8 : Potting up some of my winter propagations + more!

Welcome back! Today’s post is the first Repotting Diaries of the growing season + of 2021 too. Repotting is an aspect of plant care I find really therapeutic + a process I sorely miss over the Winter months.

Plant Progress Report: Houseplants I’ve Enjoyed Growing in 2020

Winter has really kicked in now + the drop in temperatures, alongside endless grey skies + frankly pathetic light levels, got me thinking back to sunnier times. As we approach the end of the year, I thought it was a good time to share my reflections on the houseplants I’ve particularly enjoyed growing in 2020.…

Propagate with me: how to root snake plants, zz plants + tips for successful propagations

As much as I love my larger plants here at HOUSEPLANTHOUSE, houseplant propagation is a real hobby of mine. I don’t know if it’s the lure of making new plants for free, or that the process feels like I’m getting to understand how my houseplants ‘work‘… whatever it is, I’m forever fascinated with propagating something!…

An ode to thrifting — my collection of vintage homewares for houseplants

One of the things I’ve missed the most over lockdown is thrifting. I’ve been meaning to put this post up for a while but since moving, I haven’t quite been able to put my hands on some of the pieces I wanted to talk about. I’m sure there must be a box somewhere labelled ‘Laura’s…

A mindful approach to keeping houseplants

Something I’ve been thinking about a lot this year is the question of scale — quantities, qualities, how to streamline my belongings, my kitchen cupboards, my plants. In this post I want to share my thoughts about taking a more mindful approach to keeping houseplants. It’s true that a lot of these reflections have been…

These #tradescantiafluminensistricolor cuttings have been in water longer than I care to admit, so it’s time to pot up! (I’ll show you later on stories)🪴💕 Today’s blogpost is an exciting one as it’s the first repotting diaries of the growing season — hooray! 🎉
You might remember these monstera adansonii stems I’ve been propagating... well today I potted up some of them up to make a new little plant! Not all of the stems have rooted yet (they can be very slow in cold weather!) but they haven’t rotted either so I’ll keep waiting to see if anything happens now that Spring is here!🤞🏻 #monsteramonday 🌱 🍃
If you need a little bit of direction or encouragement to get prepping your houseplants for Spring, today’s blogpost is for you! 🐣Writing this update post has really motivated me to get going with my Spring plant care — because this year more than ever, my plants could definitely do with some care and attention — it was a long winter!
My hanging plant gang are all lined up ready for a bit of a haircut! — 🍃💇🏻‍♀️
My begonia sisters in the 5pm golden light… the evenings are getting lighter at last! 🍃☀️
Happy #monsteramonday from me + my biggest plant! 👋🏻💚 My three monsteras are all in desperate need of a re-pot so I’m psyching myself up for this hefty task! (I’m planning on tackling it on the weekend...) Whilst it’s a big job to do them all in one session, I prefer to make up a big tub of my potting mix, put some music on, make a coffee...or three(!)+ slowly work through it. It’s been a long, cold winter here so it’s time to give these plants a bit of love + attention! 😊
Today’s blogpost is my top 10 hard-to-kill houseplants, some of which are in this photo! The plants I’ve featured are all ones I have had personal experience with growing for a number of years. I’ve chosen them based on their resilience + longevity in my home + they are also ones that I recommend to my customers or clients + often use when plant styling for new plant lovers💚
