Indoor plants

As the summer finally ends, it's time to stay indoors and make our homes as beautiful and green as we can. House plants bring life to the home. They clean the air too, as many studies have shown. We sell an ever-changing selection of indoor plants, from tiny succulents to big foliage plants. We also have a fabulous selection of indoor pots, pot holders and saucers, as well as speciality feeds and potions. Here's a selection of plants from our shop.

A jade plant / money plant. These plants can live for years and barely need any looking after... you can forget to water them for weeks.

Succulents are excellent plants for sunny windows.

Air plants such as Tillandsia exist on air and moisture. Soak them in room-termperature rainwater once every week or two. No other care is required. These little magnetic pots make excellent air plant holders.

These prickly fellows don't like to be cuddled - but they'll keep an eye on you!

One good thing about cacti is that they only need very occasional watering; remembering to water seems to be an issue for some people. What's more, they grow fairly swiftly, and can produce colourful flowers. 

A slipper orchid looks exotic and complicated, but ours re-blooms each year on our kitchen windowsill.

We have an excellent selection of orchids, including these delicately fragranced ones.

More tiny succulents. Somoe of them disguise themselves as stones: Lithops

This particular air plant is also a Tillandsia: commonly referred to as 'Spanish moss'.

A kentia plant in our home office - right next to me as I type into the computer in the foreground. I used to think of this a bit of an 'office plant', but have grown very fond of its shape and texture. They're also forgiving of their environment, and can cope with relatively low light levels.

A collection of ferns at the top of our staircase.Ferns like a relatively bright location, but are best out of sunshine.

An easy and pretty succulent called Senecio 'Everest'. The gorgeous blue-green foliage is in a wonderful arrangement and casts interesting shadows. Best for a bright spot.

A small foliage plant, with leaves spilling over the side of the pot, is an excellent choice for a shelf or mantlepiece.
