How do all the plants on tv shows, in magazines or in the plant shop have such lovely shiny lush leaves?? Well not only is it because they want them to look good, they also want them to grow and live! Dust is everywhere and it’ll settle on the surface of a big indoor plant. […]
Living and entertaining outdoors is part of life in Australia. The connection between indoors and outdoors is highly valued and should not be overlooked when building or renovating a home.

Looking to create a lush indoor jungle without the hassle of looking after lots of plants? Sometimes one large plant can bring the wow factor you’re looking for without all the extra watering, dusting and general plant care.

I know! We’ve all killed a few plants haven’t we? They are pretty affordable so don’t feel bad. I’d rather buy a house plant and get a few months out of it than buy something from Kmart for $20 only to throw it out or list it on my Facebook Buy Swap Sell page in […]

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 […]
Yesterday I put this up on my Instagram and it went crazy with comments. Over 200 of them with people tagging each other lots. I can’t take credit for this cool little $12 gadget. My friend Kate alerted me to this. It’s a ‘Moisture Meter’ from Bunnings and it will tell you if your plants […]
If you’re feeling a little jittery and overwhelmed at the moment it could be due to Mercury being in Retrograde yet again… or it could be the change in seasons and the crazy Easter break… Whatever stress you’re feeling did you know that potted indoor plants can help relieve some tension? Not only do they […]
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 […]
