The autumn houseplant reset starts now. 🪴

As daylight drops, your indoor plants may slow down a little. Very reasonable behaviour, really. We are also less enthusiastic in October.

Different plants respond differently, so check the compost before watering and watch what each plant is telling you.

Not sure what yours needs? Bring us a photo in store and we’ll help you narrow it down.

October has arrived, and the asters are quietly doing the decent thing: giving us colour without pretending it is still July.

Asters are brilliant for late-season interest, especially when borders are starting to look a little tired and the garden needs one last bit of life before winter properly starts. They work best in a bright spot with decent drainage, and most are happiest in sun or light shade.

Worth knowing: the exact type matters. Some asters stay neat and compact, while others make a much bigger clump than the pot suggests. Classic plant behaviour, frankly.

Bring us a photo of the space and we’ll help you choose one that suits the spot.

A plant that is not quite a plant. A moss ball that is not quite moss. Naturally, we like it.

Marimo balls are soft green spheres of freshwater algae, usually kept in a glass jar, bowl or aquarium. The name comes from Japanese: *mari* meaning ball, and *mo* meaning algae or aquatic plant.

They make a lovely little desk or windowsill companion, especially if you like indoor greenery but have limited space. No dramatic leaf drop. No sulking in the corner. Just a small green orb quietly getting on with things.

Care is simple:
🌿 Keep it in clean, cool freshwater
🌿 Give it bright, indirect light
🌿 Change the water regularly
🌿 Gently roll it now and then so all sides get light

Worth knowing: it does not want hot direct sun or warm water. Think calm freshwater friend, not tropical houseplant on a windowsill in full glare.

A tiny green curiosity, and frankly, one of the few indoor plants that looks like it might have its own thoughts.

Ask us in store if you are choosing one as a gift or setting one up at home.

Skimmia is one of those plants that looks simple until it starts asking for a social life.

Here’s the useful bit: some Skimmia are male, some are female, and that matters if you want berries.

Female Skimmia can produce those lovely winter berries, but most need a male Skimmia nearby for pollination. Male Skimmia usually won’t berry, but they do the important job of helping the female plants set fruit. Very noble. Slightly underappreciated.

There are also some self-fertile types that can produce berries on their own, so it is always worth checking the plant label before you choose.

Best suited to partial shade, sheltered spots and containers that are not allowed to dry out completely. Avoid hot, dry, exposed positions unless you enjoy watching a plant quietly judge your life choices.

The berries are ornamental, not for eating.

Save this before you buy Skimmia, especially if berries are the whole point.

A proper statement houseplant, without too much fuss.

Ficus elastica, also known as the rubber plant, is a great choice when you want strong, glossy foliage and a plant that holds its shape well indoors. It has that “yes, I do have my life together” look, even if the watering can says otherwise.

Give it bright, indirect light and water moderately while it is actively growing. In winter, ease off and let it dry a little more between drinks.

Worth knowing: it does not enjoy sitting in water, and very dark corners will not bring out its best. A bright room, away from harsh direct sun, is the safer bet.

When the summer flowers start to fade, foliage earns its keep.

Heuchera is a brilliant choice for autumn containers because the colour comes from the leaves, not just the flowers. Think rich plum, caramel, lime, bronze and silver tones, very useful when a pot needs interest but you are not in the mood for a full floral performance.

Best in a pot or border with partial shade and moist but well-drained compost. Avoid letting it sit soggy through wet weather, because few plants enjoy having permanently damp feet. Relatable, but still unhelpful.

Lovely on its own, even better mixed with grasses, ivy, cyclamen or other autumn planting.

Bring a photo of your pot or border when you visit us in Spawell and we’ll help you choose a colour that works with the space. 🍂

Spring bulbs are one of those lovely little gardening bets: you plant them now, forget where half of them went, and then spring makes you look organized. 🌷

For pots or borders, the big three are simple:

Choose bulbs that suit the space.
Check the drainage before planting.
Follow the planting depth on the pack.

That last one matters. Bulbs planted too shallow can dry out, wobble about or give a weaker show. Too deep, and they may sulk underground like they’ve been personally offended.

For pots, use a container with drainage holes and fresh compost. Bulbs hate sitting in wet compost through winter.

For borders, loosen the soil first and avoid spots that stay soggy after rain. Dublin weather is generous enough with water without us adding a bulb swamp.

Mini cyclamen are lovely for outdoor pots when the weather cools. But they are not fans of the soggy-spa treatment.

Keep them in a bright, sheltered spot and water when the compost starts to feel dry. Aim for the compost rather than the crown of the plant, and make sure the pot can drain freely. Cold, wet roots are where cyclamen enthusiasm goes to quietly disappear.

To keep them flowering, remove faded blooms by gently twisting and pulling the whole flower stem from the base. Don’t just pinch off the flower head, as the leftover stem can turn mushy.

A few quick care tips:
🌸 Keep them sheltered from harsh wind and heavy rain
🌸 Avoid waterlogged compost
🌸 Remove yellowing leaves as they appear
🌸 Deadhead regularly to encourage more flowers

Look after them well and they can keep bringing colour to your pots well into winter.

One plant. One honest limitation.

Monstera deliciosa is big, glossy and very good at making a room look like you have your life together. A generous claim, but the leaves do help. 🌿

The useful truth: it is not a tiny-corner plant forever. It is a climbing houseplant with large leaves and aerial roots, so it will eventually need space and support.

Give it bright, indirect light, warmth, and compost that is moist but not soggy. Don’t leave it sitting in water, roots are not fond of indoor swimming pools.

A good choice for a bright room where you want proper leafy drama, not a plant that quietly disappears behind the lampshade.

What is your plant trying to tell you? 🌿

Yellow leaves? Crispy tips? A dramatic lean towards the window?

Plants usually give clues before they give up. The trick is knowing which clue matters.

Send us or bring in a clear photo and tell us:
• Where it lives, bright room, shady corner, windowsill, hallway
• How often you water it
• Whether anything changed recently, moved house, new pot, heating back on, surprise “helpful” watering from someone else

One blurry photo of a sad leaf can start the conversation, but it will not always give the full answer. A bit of context helps us recommend the right fix, not just guess confidently in a plant voice.
