Stromanthe thalia triostar Care Guide

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…

Repotting diaries #7: sansevieria, golden pothos, zz raven, philodendron scandens, stromanthe + pilea

My focus this time of year is making sure my plants are in the best position possible to tackle the lower light levels + cooler temperatures (more on that in my ‘Getting your houseplants ready for Autumn’…

Stromanthe got big — to divide or repot?

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…

How to avoid brown tips on houseplants

I have had my Stromanthe sanguinea triostar for a few years now, and it’s one of those plants that has really blossomed into something of a statement piece in my houseplant collection. As part of the Marantaceae family it is definitely the easier-going relative in my experience, and I often get questions about how to…

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💚
