Last week I was a bit lucky and my husband brought home this huge elkhorn. It was his Grandmother's and it had fallen down (his Father had it) and it was getting a bit burnt in the sun. We think it's at least 60 years old. You can be excused for calling it a staghorn, …
Today I've got 5 indoor plants which can survive almost in the dark with little fuss. I wrote a post a few months ago on the best Indoor Plants, but I've narrowed it down to just a few that are hard to kill! Last week I needed a bit of retail therapy and I text my girlfriend …
Brought to you by Scotts Australia. I love my garden, it's not massive which is easy to control, but I don't really have enough time to spend lots of time on it. Neither does my husband. With kids who play a lot of weekend sport we don't nearly spend as much time in our backyard …
I wrote a blog post in January about Indoor Plants For Beginners and it was one of my most popular posts ever! We really love our indoor plants at the moment don't we? However, if you have a habit of killing them, then today I have a list and links to where you can buy …
I used to think the staghorn (or elkhorn) fern was sooo ugly! I bet you did too haha. My Nan used to have them and I wish I stolen some back in the day. My father-in-law has a few and I asked my husband to secretly lift one off his wall next time he visits! …
Last week I was a mission to find a big indoor pot for this plant. It wasn't an easy task! Locally I couldn't get my hand on much (although I did end up with number 6), but I could find lots of cool indoor pots online. Today I thought I'd share some of these with …
We've all be caught out haven't we?? Lured by those amazing Instagram photos of the perfect fiddle leaf fig, searched high and low for our own, only to get it home and 3 months later see that it's dying a slow death! I killed one. I wasn't proud of that. I really loved that fig …
Garden pots have really come a long way in the past few years. They include a mix of colours, textures and patterns and they can be used inside or out. You can never have too many pots! They look more dramatic when a similar style is grouped together in large numbers with different plants in …
How easy does a garden trellis look? I think they are such an awesome addition to a black wall in the garden. I am going to create one myself next weekend - I have the perfect spot! I think I'll choose a Jasmine vine. They have a deep green leaf and a beautiful white flower. …
Believe it or not, but I don't own a pot stand. What the? Ha! When I started this blog post I thought how can that be?! I own about 87 indoor plants, but no stand?? Well today I went looking online for 10 pot stands which would look great in anyone's home. I recently bought number …
Over the weekend we had bursts of sunny weather so I jumped outside and decided to attend to my succulent garden and split some of them up so they can grow freely. I also have a couple of Zanzibar Gem plants with new growth and instead of putting them in a bigger pot I decided to …
I am a sucker for roses! I just love them. This is my house above (well not at the minute because mine have been pruned back) but in a few weeks I'll see my roses bloom again and I can't wait. They will cycle over and over about every 55 days during Spring, Summer, and …
