Choosing the right plant for your space is the first step in your indoor plant journey. Consider the space you have available - what kind of light does it receive, and how often will you be able to water your plants? With this in mind, here are our top easy-care houseplant recommendations.

Styling Tips

Styling your new houseplants can feel daunting, but there’s plenty of inspiration to help you get started. Statement plants like Monstera or Ficus Elastica work well in empty corners or as focal points in a room, while trailing plants such as pothos or tradescantia look stunning on high shelves or bookcases. Smaller plants like succulents or ferns are perfect for coffee tables, desks, or windowsills. Odd-numbered groupings add a balanced, curated touch to any space.

To embrace the cosy autumn season, choose warm, earthy tones for your pots and accent with cushions, throws, and décor in complementary colours. Incorporate natural textures like woven baskets or terracotta pots for a timeless, rustic look. For a truly autumn vibe, add fairy lights and candles to create soft, warm lighting that enhances the atmosphere.


Autumn Care Tips

As autumn sets in, light levels start to decrease, so your indoor plants may need to find new homes for the cooler months. Plants that prefer bright light, such as monstera and hoya, may need to be moved closer to windows for the cooler seasons. Watch for plants reaching towards the light and rotate them by a quarter turn each week to encourage even growth.

With cooler temperatures, your houseplants won’t need as much food or water. Allow the soil to dry out before watering plants such as peace lilies, monstera, and ficus. However, moisture-loving plants like ferns, fittonias, and carnivorous plants will still need regular watering to grow well. Many indoor plants are dormant during the cooler months, so give them a break from fertilising until the spring growing season.
