Monstera Adansonii 120mm

For all its delicate beauty, growing Monstera adansonii is fairly straightforward. Plant it in a pot with drainage holes using a standard potting soil that contains peat. (Peat helps to trap moisture without becoming waterlogged.)

How often should I water my monstera plant?

Monstera plants prefer a warm climate away from direct sunlight. When it comes to watering, Gisele says. "Let the top 4cm of soil dry out between watering as over watering may lead to root rot, signs of this are yellowing or wilting leaves. For best results Monsteras should enjoy conditions that are fairly moist so avoid artificial heating and cooling, they will require monthly feeding in spring and summer when planted in containers."

If your Monstera produces aerial roots, manoeuvre them towards some water.

"Plants will do better if the aerial roots that grow from the main stem can be directed into a container of water from which supplies will be drawn for the plant, thus reducing the need for too frequent watering of the mixture in the pot, these roots can be also directed into the potting mixture when re-potting," Gisele explains.

As it ages the new leaves become Swiss Cheese like, with large cut ribbons or holes in its leaves, a natural adaptation that has been the subject of intense study over the years.

Light

Gentle sunlight is fine for the Swiss Cheese Plant, but harsh sun needs to be avoided as it will scorch and possibly yellow the leaves.

On the other side of things, dark gloomy corners need to be avoided too in order to prevent loss of the Swiss Cheese effect in the leaves and the annoying spreading effect that occurs in these conditions.

Watering

Only moderate levels of watering are required here. When you do water make sure you aim to get all of the compost evenly moist, then wait until it has almost dried out before watering again.

You'll need to wait less time between watering's during the warmer months of the year. Or if the plant has been positioned in a very warm and dry space because all of these things will increase the thirst of your Swiss Cheese Plant.

Humidity

It will take average to high humidity levels well, but will start to suffer if things are very dry for prolonged periods. Find ways that work for you to increase humidity if this is likely to be an issue in the spot you have chosen for it.

Feeding

Feeding is essential if you want new, lush green growth. Use any houseplant feed and use it it at normal strength no more than once a month during periods of active growth. Reduce the amount and frequency of feed if you're finding your plant is becoming a monster and outgrowing its home too fast!

Benefits:

These fast growing houseplants have good all round air cleaning properties and particularly effective in humidifying air conditioned interiors.

Peperomia Obtusifolia (mixed variety)

Peperomia Plant. Peperomia obtusifolia. Baby Rubber Tree Plant.  The primary attraction as an ornamental plant is the foliage and its growth habit is bushy in appearance.

This plant has a multitude of common names including golden pothos, hunter's robe, ivy arum, money plant, silver vine, Solomon Islands ivy and taro vine. It is also called devil's vine or devil's ivy because it is almost impossible to kill and it stays green even when kept in the dark.

Care:

These plants enjoy a wide range of environments. They do well in bright indirect light as well as low light and can be grown in dry soil or in vases of water. They will thrive in nutrient rich soil, but do almost as well in nutrient poor soil.  Pothos do best when their soil is allowed to dry out between waterings. To achieve this watering technique allow only the top two inches to dry being sure that the roots are still moist. If the leaves are wilting or turning brown, you should water the plant more often.  Remove any dead leaves.

Benefits:

This plant is great for offices and homes since it rids the air of carbon monoxide and formaldehyde.

The ultimate home or office plant for beginners or anyone seeking a beautiful, low-maintenance plant. Trailing stems of heart-shaped foliage look great sprawling along a desk or table, cascading from a hanging basket, or dangling from a planter on a shelf. Although consistent care is always recommended, this is a plant that can take some neglect and still bounce back.

Uses

Looks great grown in containers and hanging baskets. A terrific plant for tall plant stands where the trailing foliage will create a cascade of foliage over time.

The Ficus elastica Ruby is a hybrid variety of the Ficus elastica. They are native to East India, Bhutan, Burma, China, Malaysia, and Indonesia. This large tree from the banyan group of figs can grow very very large. The trunk develops aerial and buttressing roots to anchor in the soil.

It has stunning ruby red/pink variegated oval leaves which develop inside a sheath which will grow larger as the new leaf develops. The mature leaf will unfurl, dropping the sheath off the plant.

They grow well in a warm sunny position but doesn't like the scorching sun.
Even though the Ficus elastica is drought tolerant they do prefer humid tropical conditions.

Water with moderate amounts of water during the warmer months and only when you notice the soil starting to dry in the colder months.

"A native to the jungles of Southern Mexico and Guatemala, the Monstera is a very easy houseplant that needs space to grow," Gisele Zanier, founder of Beyond Sunflowers," a plant emporium based in Melbourne told Better Homes and Gardens.

Ruby Necklace|Othonna Carpensis

Ruby Necklace is an attractive trailing succulent from the daisy family. It’s mostly grown as a hanging basket plant, but is also suitable for rockeries or display plantings.

Watering: It is a tough succulent with few problems, but likes a bit more water than average. In more shade it will be greener and thicker. Produces masses of yellow daisy-like flower intermittently throughout the year.

Light: Best growing conditions for Othonna capensis is morning sun and afternoon shade. This will allow it to show strong colour but also reduce its demand for water in harsh conditions. This plant needs little else to thrive, though providing it with a large pot will allow it to grow to its full potential.

Othonna capensis suffers few pest and disease issues. The worst pest they suffer though are caterpillars. These are particularly prevalent in Summer and Autumn, and can decimate a plant quite quickly. Remain vigilant for signs for damage. Small infestations can usually be controlled by hand. For more serious infestations, use an insecticide such as Dipel or Confidor.

Crassula ovata, commonly known as jade plant, lucky plant, money plant or money tree, is a succulent plant with small pink or white flowers.

300mm pot

Care:

One of the most important things when you care for jade plants is to make sure that they are watered properly. Never let a jade plant dry out completely. But also, do not water a jade plant too often, as this can cause root rot. Don’t water your jade plant on a schedule. Rather, water your jade plant when the top of soil is just dry to the touch.

Another important aspect of the care and maintenance of jade plants is how much sun they receive. They need full sun in order to grow properly. If they do not have full sun, they may become stunted and leggy.  At least four hours of sunlight per day.

Benefits:

Jade Plant for Good Luck, Prosperity and Friendship.

Pellaea rotundifolia, the button fern, is a species of fern endemic to New Zealand, where it grows in scrub and forests. It is also a popular garden plant and house plant, tolerating low temperatures but not freezing.

Care:

• Button ferns like enough water, but detest soggy soil. Let the top portion of soil dry out between waterings. If the fronds are green and not wilted, you’ve found a perfect happy medium.
• House your button fern in a bright or even slightly shady spot, but not in direct sun. A sun-filled kitchen or living room is a good choice.
