cleaning the air; I’ve heard that one pot of aloe<br />
could do the equivalent job of nine biological<br />
air cleaners.<br />
The plants and the pots have been keeping<br />
me really busy over the last couple of years,<br />
but I’ve always imagined Hi Cacti being a really<br />
full, botanical home décor brand. It has a very<br />
Tex-Mex-meets-Palm-Springs vibe, with the<br />
plants and colours. I love collaborating with<br />
other local makers and artists – like Hello Marine<br />
(we sell some of her prints) – and recently<br />
we’ve been creating more of our own products.<br />
We’ve just brought out our Frida Kahlo eye<br />
mask, which was a collaboration with my intern<br />
Maya. I’ve been obsessed with Frida Kahlo<br />
probably since I was about 12 years old and<br />
I studied Latin American art at university, so<br />
she was always an absolute favourite. I feel like<br />
there’s a lot of Frida in Hi Cacti.<br />
