I used to be mad about indoor plants back in the year 1999. It was the year I met my husband and moved in with him. Then it sort of became uncool and daggy to have indoor plants. Fast forward a couple of decades or so and I’m back to loving indoor plants again (I […]
If you can get your hands on some rugged looking cactus plants then you should grab them, put them in a mixture of pots and baskets and create a really cool grouped display. I see lots of weird and wonderful cacti pop up on my local buy swap sell Facebook groups. I love the desert […]
We’re all still going strong with the indoor plant trend – well I am anyway! I have a jungle at home…ha! I am addicted that’s for sure. In 2019, the theme for indoor plants is ‘bigger the better’. If you can choose mature plants that already stand a metre or more tall for maximum impact […]
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 […]
A hanging plant can fill a corner in an instant. Take your house plants up off the ground and on to the walls, hanging from ceilings, put on shelves or even in a plant stand. Below are 10 hanging plants you could add to your home. Most of them are about $30 to buy in […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
