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…

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…

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…

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…

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.…

Are we warming to the idea that terracotta is making a comeback? Hmmmm I was a little skeptical at first. But I can say YES to the aged terracotta pot. That’s a big tick from me. You don’t have to go for the orange shiny terracotta pot. You can choose…

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…

10 pot stands

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…

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…
