House & Indoor Plants
We are very proud of our Houseplant Greenhouse, and with such a vast selection of indoor plants available it is vital to choose wisely and select the plant that will flourish in your environment, whether it be in the home or at the office. It must be remembered that all indoor or Houseplants are outdoor plants in their native country, where they have the correct light,air and humidity for success. Our glasshouse provides the nearest equivalent . There are some basic rules to follow for a successful, happy houseplant:-
Don’t over water, remember most houseplants are killed by kindness;let the plant dry out a little between watering and if using a pot cover always use some drainage in the bottom.
As a general rule if your houseplant has variegated or highly coloured leaves it will need more light ( but not direct sunlight) than it’s plain green cousins.
Follow a plants individual requirements , shade lovers will not flourish on a sunny window sill, ferns would flourish in the humidity of a bathroom.
For value for money you cannot beat the long lasting flowers of a Phalenopsis Orchid which can last for up to three months before fading.
