Bringing The Outside In

With winter fast approaching here in the Southern Hemisphere I have found myself drawn to luscious green leafy indoor plants. Maybe it's because the flowers aren't quite as plentiful this time of the year. Or it could be my attempt to connect with the outdoors, even when the rain's forced me inside. Whatever the reason, in a pot or a in a vase, these plants bring great texture, colour, and life to a space.

    3. Hi Rachel, they're a fig plant. The official name if Fiddle Leaf Fig, or Ficus Lyrata. We have one in our sitting room, and it looks fabulous. x

    5. Most good plant shops will have them. I got mine from Oderings, but if you don't have one of those close, just ask your local plant shop about fig trees for indoors.

    1. I have to admit Tina, my husband is the green fingered one in our family. But hopefully with his help I can keep mine healthy. x
