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!).

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 […]
