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, […]
If you’re obsessed with indoor plants like me then you’re always on the look out for that perfect addition to your home! Sometimes it’s hard to source plants. We have Bunnings locally and that’s about it. I find it really hard to get plants and I am always popping in to see what I can […]
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 thrive! 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. A seamless flow between the two is what homebuyers are looking for, so getting it right could put your home at the top of the […]
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. Pop it in a basket or pot and suddenly you’ve got WOW factor right there in your […]
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 […]
You’re either a lover or hater of ornamental grass. It comes in lots of colours and textures and can be wild and bushy. If your style is contemporary then this garden will suit. It gives a bold impact to your landscaping. It’s decorative and low-maintenance so you can’t really go wrong. They can look simple […]
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 🙂 […]
