30 Growing in Style Show off your house plants and keep them happy and healthy with these great accessories. FOLLOW A FEW BASIC PRINCIPLES AND YOUR INDOOR GARDEN IS BOUND TO FLOURISH. • Regular watering is crucial, but choose an indoor watering can that doesn’t take up too much space and looks nice on display. The narrow spout and high handle help when watering hanging pots, plants on high shelves or tabletop terrariums. • Use pruners to remove spent leaves or take off live stems in order to reshape your plant or encourage bushier, dense growth. Those with stainless steel blades are rust-resistant and easy to keep clean. • Check whether your plant will benefit from regular misting. Leaf curling, yellowing and brown leaf edges are all signs that it needs a bit of extra humidity. Choose a mister with a fine, gentle spray – the aim is not to make the leaves soaking wet, but to keep them clean (it helps them photosynthesise) and change the air quality around them. Grow your own indoor kitchen garden with herbs in recycled planters on a sunny window sill. Seeds and compost from Dobbies. Made in London out of Jesmonite in collaboration with homeware designer Salt Studios, this handmade propagation station comes with a glass test tube to display your cutting, plus a bookmark with useful instructions. Propagation station, £35, Leaf Envy. Water plants and herbs with a galvanised steel watering can. Garden Trading indoor watering can, £16, Heavenly Homes and Gardens. A pruner helps maintain healthy, happy plant growth. Burgon & Ball house plant pruner, £12.50, Leaf Envy. • If you are short on sunlight, try indoor growing lights, which are more intense than ordinary light bulbs. They also have a range of colour spectrums optimised to aid plant growth. Look for all-in-one kits or separate bulbs or tube lights. Stylish round metal hanging lamp and plant pot in sleek gold and black. £95, Cult Furniture. Perfect for orchids and succulents, this plant mister makes a pretty addition to a kitchen or bathroom windowsill. Botanical-style plant mister, £14, Ella James. This planter combines two styles of natural rattan. The upper pot includes a waterproof liner, keeping the lower shelf (and floors) safe and dry. Mayfield plant stand, £75, Garden Trading. These seagrass baskets are tactile and soft without being floppy. Redford round baskets, from £40 each, Neptune. Try a plant subscription – you’ll be sent a new plant monthly, with information and care instructions. A Plant Doctor is on hand to help with any problems.
