Plant that are totally in fashion.

They aren't just burgundy.

That burgundy represents millions of years of evolution and they've made that choice not out of fashion but out of necessity.

The fact you're considering buying a burgundy plants is because it was selected by nature as a natural sunscreen in their tropical climates where the sun was super intense and it has been selected for you from a pile of plants..

And because they're elegant and complex and perfect for your current mood and style right now. 😉(Thanks Miranda Priestly)

Do you know how to treat a snake plant right?

Our top tips for these spiky beauties:

💡Only water when the soil is dry. Use your finger to check it first. They will hate being over watered and being in too much humidity.

💡They don't mind some shade conditions and may even get longer leaves. In the wild you'll find them in dry savannas and in semi-shade in rocky, dry, open woodlands in West and Central Africa. Bright indirect light is best.

💡Use a gritty compost that is quick draining...like a cactus mix.

Did you know?

🌿If you have a broken tip, it won't grow any taller unfortunately.

🌿They can have white flowers...but in this country it would be rare to see one.

🌿They get pollinated by moths!

We think they look brilliant planted on mass in long planters, or as office dividers. With so many varieties to choose from you could quickly become a Sansevieria-plant-aficionado.

Scared to chop that leaf? Or tame a wayward branch.

Have you got a plant that's become too big?

Chop it!!!!

We know. You've nurtured your green baby for so long that the thought of chopping a bit off freaks you out, but we promise it will be better for it.

That cut will help tame it, shape it and actually encourage it to grow more ..and in a better shape to fit your space.

It's better to do in spring, but if something is damaged, or dying, get it chopped off! If it's about to hit the ceiling or cause you to lose a family member, then tame that beast.

This will be your next plant obsession.

The Caryota Mitis - or Burmese Fishtail palm. A little bit bamboo, a little bit palm, a little bit fan-tail fish!

Their incredible fish like feathery leaves come out of long arching stems, making them real statement plants.

These are happy in bright indirect light and like moist soil (as long as it drains).

We stock 4-6ft ones for purchase or leasing for events.
