The summer months bring more time spent outdoors, and often more time spent at home. This is the perfect opportunity to freshen up your indoor space. Take some time to consider where you want to get creative and change things up, and which new indoor plants you might like to welcome into your home.

Care

With warmer temperatures, your indoor plants will be thirstier than usual. Keep an eye on the soil’s moisture levels, and make sure your plants stay evenly moist. Your plants may have differing watering needs, so get familiar with their requirements before setting your summer watering schedule. Most indoor plants will be happy with a liquid feed every three to four weeks over the summer months. For lush foliage, we recommend Kings Houseplant Food, and for flowering plants, a liquid orchid fertiliser with higher potassium levels will work beautifully.

Summer Styling Tips

Gorgeous Groups

Grouping plants is a design technique that adds style and cohesion to any room. Clustering plants on shelving, coffee tables, and in corners can transform your space with vibrant greenery. One of our favourite groupings is the structured elegance of the Snake Plant, paired with the unique style of the ZZ Plant, and softened by the cascading charm of the Spider Plant.

Mix and Match Foliage

Experiment by choosing plants with different textures and colours. We love pairing the delicate fronds of maidenhair ferns with the large, glossy leaves of a ficus. Combining contrasting plants is an excellent way to accentuate the unique characteristics of each.

Statement Plants

Create a captivating focal point in your indoor space with a large indoor plant. These feature plants look striking when placed in a corner or filling a spacious room. Our favourites for statement plants include Bird of Paradise and large Monsteras.

Vertical Interest

Trailing plants add elegance to your indoor space with their lush foliage and cascading growth habits. Ideal for smaller spaces, they can be placed on shelving units to create visual interest without taking up floor space. Some of our favourite trailing plants include Pothos, String of Turtles, and Tradescantia.
