Welcome to my world of plants! My green space on the internet. If you’re interested in house plant growth and plant care, including how I’ve grown a mini urban jungle in my small, slightly dark flat then you’re in the right place! What can you expect from this blog? Many pictures of my beautiful plants […]
It has been a year since I was last here. So much has happened and changed, most of which is not for this blog, except for the fact that my plants have changed too. I am not quite sure what has caused this, but most of them are currently going through a massive growth spurt. […]
…the past few months have been hectic but also seem to have flown by. It doesn’t feel like it’s been 4/5 months since I last posted on here but that’s what it says! So what have I been up to? Well I’ve moved houses with all the various issues and activities surrounding that – from […]
…and I can’t wait! Shops are starting to bring out their bulbs and seedlings and I’ve picked up a couple: some tulips and some hyacinth bulbs. Me and my mum have also bought some Giant Tree Lily bulbs, which I planted a couple of weeks ago and I’m looking forward to seeing how they develop. […]
New plant alert! And also belated happy new year! It’s 2021 and we’re back in lockdown in the UK… however I got a few new(ish) plants over the past few months which I will be introducing you to over time. Today’s introduction is to Tema who is a Tradescantia Nanouk and so pretty! I got […]
So I know we’re deep in winter now (in the Northern hemisphere) but I’ve meaning to post about how I prepared my plants for winter and how I am caring for them in this cold weather. I started to switch up my routine around October when the clocks went back. Firstly, for my outdoor plants, […]
Good morning everyone! Let me introduce you to some of my newest plants (though technically not yet plants as they are cuttings!). My mum kindly let me siphon off from her lovely plant collection and I am now propagating a few different cuttings including a Painted Leaf Begonia, a Tradescantia Sillamontana and a Jade plant. […]
I’m back! I had a unplanned break because life got very busy so things I enjoyed doing (like this blog) took a back seat. But yes I’m now back like I never left and have lots of things to update on. I got a whole range of new plant cuttings from my mum, I’ve learnt […]
I got another plant! My mum bought me Constance – a Calathea Crocata, also known as Eternal Flame – for my birthday. I now have three calatheas and they are each stunningly individual and unique. Calathea Crocatas have beautiful golden flowers and it is such a unique addition to my plant family. How do you […]
So England is going into another national lockdown as of Thursday 5th November. It sounds like it will pretty much be the same as the March lockdown with a few differences. It will be interesting to see the difference between being in lockdown during the spring as opposed to the autumn/winter. Naturally in the colder […]
Rachel is my Rattlesnake Plant, also known as Calathea Lancifolia. She is my latest purchase, I bought her about a month ago on a whim. My mum gave me a tip off that B&Q were having a sale on houseplants so I passed by and found this beauty. I was proud of myself for holding back […]
