I invite you to discover my top three favourite house plants...

Aloe vera, or if you slightly plant crazy, Hello Vera

Affordable and beautiful, houseplants are the ideal way to make a garden of your home and one of my all time favourites is Aloe Vera.

Vera likes a bright position in your house but not in full sunshine. Be sure to water moderately when growing, and a little less often through the winter months. You’ll need to feed it with a balanced liquid fertiliser in the Spring.

She is a succulent and is often referred to as the first aid or medicine aloe, grown for her healing properties, the gel from inside the fleshy leaf can soothe sunburn, acne or eczema.

But for me, she’s just a beautiful plant! 

Important: Harmful if eaten.

Ficus Ginseng is one of my favourite plants…. 

they are quirky, fun, easy to look after and can be rude!

They need light, warmth and water to do well. Place them in a light spot away from cold draughts with a constant temperature. Water with rain water when the soil is just surface dry. They like a humid atmosphere so misting the leaves will help (use our lovely glass mister), and lightly trim regularly to keep the shape. 

If you move these plants, or there is a drop in temperature, then they can drop their leaves, but they soon shoot out again. 

A real conversation piece!

A scented beauty… Stephanotis

This super scented interior plant has it all with its glossy green leaves and gorgeous pure white flowers which are held on tendrils which can be wound around the wire frame as it grows. I just love the tropical twining vine.

Since this plant is what we call a ‘tender, tropical perennial’, it is best grown inside and makes a lovely houseplant.
 

Be sure not to overwater in the winter, a bit more water will be needed in the summer and then your Stephanotis can be placed outside in a sheltered spot for a holiday! 

Mist with our glass mister to keep the plant healthy and happy!

Stephanotis available complete with attractive cream metal planter while stocks last.

Thanks for your interest in my house plant guidance.

I would encourage you to treat yourself to a plant and be happy!
