Phalaenopsis, renowned for its exquisite and grace

Phalaenopsis, renowned for its exquisite and graceful blossoms as well as its prolonged blooming season, holds the distinction of being the top-rated indoor plant worldwide and boasts a fascinating heritage.

Did you know that overwatering is the primary cause of Orchid demise? Get some more tips from our care guide below

Light: Orchids prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight this can scorch the leaves.
Water: Water once a week. Be careful not to over-water, which can lead to root rot. Place a few ice cubes on top of the soil (depending on pot size). This will give a slow release of water.
Humidity: Orchids thrive in high humidity environments. You can increase humidity levels by placing a tray of water near the plant, misting the leaves, or using a humidifier.
Soil: Orchids grow best in well-draining, bark-based potting mix. Be sure to use a pot with holes to allow for proper drainage.
Fertilizer: Feed your orchid once a month with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
Repotting: Repot your orchid every 2-3 years, or when the roots become crowded in the pot.

When your Orchid is finished flowering, cut the stems back to the second node to promote new growth.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your orchid thrives and continues to bloom for years to come.

Bring a pop of colour into your home with a stunni

Bring a pop of colour into your home with a stunning Zantedeschia! Also known as the Calla Lily, these beautiful plants produce elegant, trumpet-shaped blooms in shades of white, yellow, orange, pink, and purple.

Here's a guide on how to care for your Zantedeschia:

Light: Bright, indirect light. Although they can grow in direct sun, if grown in too much sun, the leaves may wilt, and the blooms may fade.

Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soaking in water. Water the plant when the top inch of soil is dry, being careful not to let the soil dry out completely. Water on the soil, not the plant, direct water will damage leaves and flowers.

Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil.

Fertilizer: Every 2 months with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Repotting: Every 2-3 years, or when the bulbs become crowded in the pot.

Plant into your garden: Plant in a bright spot and water weekly. Water more often in hot, dry weather.

By following these simple tips, you can help your Zantedeschia thrive and enjoy its beautiful blooms and leaves for years to come

Areca bamboo palm is one of the most widely used p

Areca bamboo palm is one of the most widely used palms for bright interiors. It features feathery, arching fronds, each with up to 100 leaflets. These big, bold plants have a slow to moderate growth rate.

Water when the soil dries out. When grown indoors, a well-draining pot is essential. When grown outdoors, it is important to choose a spot that has good drainage. Soggy soil can easily cause root rot in palms.

Indoors, areca bamboo palms do best with bright light exposure. These beautiful plants help catch dust in a room. You can wipe the leaves with a dry cloth. Outdoors, these plants like bright, filtered light, but they also tolerate full sun.

Wait to remove any dying fronds until they are mostly brown, they still play a role in photosynthesis. Feed with a liquid fertilizer every couple of months.

Anthuriums are exceptionally long lasting flowerin

Anthuriums are exceptionally long lasting flowering plants. Commonly known for their red flowers with a yellow tail like spike, they also grow in shades of purple, pink, yellow, white and more. Their common name is Flamingo Lilly.

Anthuriums are tropical climbers that grow well in partial sun or indirect light. They blossom all year round, slowing down a bit in winter. Remove dead flowers to promote new growth.

Indoor Roses make a perfect centrepiece, bringing a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room.

Place your Roses in a room that gets plenty of sun and some air. Water a few times a week, draining excess water to prevent water-lock. Trim off dead flowers to encourage new growth. If the leaves start turning yellow, pick off the yellow leaves and check if your plant has enough air, water and sun. You can also feed with a liquid fertilizer once a month.

Replant your Roses into a bigger pot on your patio or into your garden. Choose a sunny spot that receives 5 hours of sun a day. Cut the plant back and keep watered. In Spring your Roses will have wonderful new buds for you to enjoy. Roses grow bigger as you cut the plant back each season.
