Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. Today I thought I'd give you some steps on how to water indoor plants. Well this is how I water mine and I have lots of plants which are doing well (don't worry, I've killed a few too!), but mostly I am having some success. Did you know ALL …
Feel like an easy DIY project this weekend? What about making a cactus or succulent bowl? Hard to kill these little fellas, they are cheap to buy and look great all clumped together. Now when I say "hard to kill" I mean it's not impossible and I have killed my fair share of succulents, but …
We all know a cactus is pretty hard to kill (but not impossible ha!). But if you're looking for a little bit of greenery with some interesting shapes, then a cactus in a pot will be perfect. Pop them on a shelf, group some taller styles in a corner, or even hang them. Here's a …

Winter is here whether we like it or not, and it can be a struggle to prepare all our plants for the cold. After all, most indoor plants originated in hot tropical climates, where dry air and temperature drops are not conditions they are accustomed to. Here is a quick guide on how to winter-proof …
Spending time in nature has been linked to reducing stress levels and tension, so it seems a no-brainer that indoor plants will help do the same. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. So whilst we are sleeping, indoor plants are refreshing the air. Enrich your surrounding with potted plants. Not only do they look good, …
Hi there! Today's post is not ground-breaking or riveting stuff, but I wanted to show you a little trick. You know when you buy an artificial plant and it comes in those skinny teeny tiny black pots? And they just look ridiculous swimming inside a pot or basket? Well, you need to fix that :) …
