Just like my Marble Queen Pothos, I would definitely add my Neon Pothos to my list of favourite plants. This might seem a bit repetitive if you read the post about my Marble Queen Pothos, but I felt the Neon Pothos deserved its own post. Lately though I have been more obsessed with the Neon…

Meet The Family: Madagascar Jewel – Growing Like There’s No Tomorrow
My Euphorbia Leuconeura, or more commonly known as a Madagascar Jewel is by far the fastest growing plant in my collection. She really is popping out leaves like there’s no tomorrow! When I first got her I wondered how long it will take till she was fully grown so that I can sit underneath her…
Meet The Family: Calathea Collection – Plants That Make You Go WOW!
When I started my plant obsession, I heard a lot of warnings about Calatheas as they are considered to be high maintenance plants. I was really nervous when I got my first Calathea, but I soon bought a second, third and now I have eight Calatheas. Don’t get me wrong, they are very fussy and…
Meet The Family: Monstera Adansonii – Marvelously Easy Going & Fast Growing
The post about my Boston Fern mentioned the events surrounding the purchase of two particular plants. If you didn’t read that post here is a quick recap: After the whole I killed My ZZ debacle I was completely disheartened and felt like a complete failure as a plant parent. Ironically that day I thought that…
Meet The Family: Boston Fern – Living That Jungle Bathroom Life
After the whole I killed My ZZ debacle I was completely disheartened and felt like a complete failure as a plant parent. Ironically that day I thought that a trip to a garden centre (and a piece of cake) would cheer me up. On our way to Carewswood Garden Centre, one of my favourite coffee…
Meet The Family: Marble Queen Pothos – Low Maintenance Beginner Plant
My Marble Queen Pothos is definitely one of my top 5 favourite plants. Besides being a visually appealing plant, she is also super easy to care for. I bought her at Hanley’s Home And Garden Centre in Cork in February and she has more than doubled her size in the last four months. With my…
Meet The Family: Hypoestes Phyllostachya – Pink Polka Dot Plant
For Valentine’s Day this year my husband decided to buy plants as gifts instead of flowers. I had just started my plant parent journey and loved that he was so supportive of my new interest. Along with the Dieffenbachia he also bought a Hypoestes Phyllostachya or Pink Polka Dot Plant as they are more commonly…
Meet The Family: Ivy – A Surprisingly Difficult Plant
Hedera helix, or English Ivy as it is most commonly known, is in my opinion a very overrated plant. When I say overrated I mean it is growing everywhere in Ireland and so freely available. When I saw it for sale at one of our local shops I thought I might as well take one…
Meet The Family: Dieffenbachia – The Most Underrated Plant
My Dieffenbachia, also known as a Dumb Cane is one of my favourite plants and probably the plant that has surprised me the most. I saw her in one of our local supermarkets and my husband went back and bought her as a Valentine’s Day gift. It was the first time that he bought me…
Meet The Family: Elephant Bush/Spekboom – Join The Challenge
My rainbow Elephant Bush (Portulacaria Afra) or Spekboom as I know her from growing up in South Africa is not particularly one of my favourite plants, but she has a special place in my heart. Every time I look at her a lot of special memories from living in South Africa come to mind. If…
