These aren’t up in the online shop yet, but feel free to phone to order. Simple, cute jar-terrariums, with interesting indoor plants.
A nice gift for a desk or kitchen, for a person who likes plants. These are easy to maintain – just water a little bit once a week. Add your own ornaments or mementos to personalise it, or make the terrarium into a mini world or scene-scape.
We have always had a soft spot for chain of hearts plants, they remind us nanna’s and heritage backyards and all things good.
We have them in store from time to time – do check with us if you are after some!
These funky almost-flat vases made for some unusual plant houses… Perfect for our fittonias.
If you’re a keen indoor-plant person, always keep an eye out for interesting containers, and why not give some a try – you never know what’s going to work until you try! Old aluminium tea-pots are a favourite of ours too – hanging from the ceiling with unexpectedly shaped hanging foliage.
Looking for something particular? Why not pop in and see what we have in store! We don’t have everything online all the time…
In April last year, we had the privilege of going down to the Pollinate exhibition at Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney . In a large, light-filled enclosed greenhouse an abundant array of amazing plants was on show. The star of the entire presentation, in my view, was the trails of cascading sagey-grey-green dichondria – aka ‘dichondria silver falls’. The entire space was kept humid and moist from a light mist sprayed into the air almost continually up near the glass ceiling.
I only wish we could have brought the whole display back with us!
Our new shipment of fiddle-leaf figs is totally awesome – get one now!
They are 70cm+ and super lush like a rainforest understorey plant.
You can pick one out yourself, just pop in to our Parkwood shop. Or, we can deliver for you (on the Gold Coast, most areas), all done up ready for gifting.
The ‘zanzibar gem’, or Zamioculca (not to be confused with zebra binoculars {yes they do exist…}, or the Hoodoo Guru’s ‘I’ve never been to Zanzibar’) is one of our favourite plants. It should be high on any list of faves in my {humble} opinion. It’s also in Costa’s top three in this Gardening Australia article.
Well, so many reasons! Firstly, it’s leaves are lovely and glossy. Secondly, studies have shown it to be beneficial in improving air-quality. And thirdly, because it’s just so easy to look after, as long as you don’t water it very much. Yes, that’s right, don’t water it… not much at all. I think that’s pretty awesome for a plant that looks and keeps so well in the unforgiving indoor environment. You can go on holiday and this little (though they can get bigger) plant will be happy no worries.
The care-tags on the plant will tell you more, but from my experience it does best with the tiniest watering every month or so, depending how drying the weather/air-conditioning has been. The main thing is to make sure it is never saturated or sitting in water. I usually water at the edge of the pot so the main rhizome and stalks of the plant are never really, really wet.
Tesselaar Flowers also has some notes about it here.
From us, silly. Also your local nursery should have them if you can’t make it in : )
Yes, yes she would. She can sit it on the side table in the corner near the bench seat overlooking the side yard. You know the one I mean.
