Everyday Botanicals
Beautiful, easy-to-grow tropical houseplants for every home — chosen because they reward a little care with years of lush growth.
Great plants don't have to be rare
Not every plant in your collection needs to be a collector's specimen. The best indoor jungles are built on a foundation of reliable, beautiful plants that thrive in ordinary homes — and these are ours.
Every plant in this section is beginner-friendly, but that doesn't mean boring. These are the plants we recommend to friends and family: species with genuine character, interesting foliage and the kind of forgiving nature that makes them a pleasure to grow.
All dispatched in pot, carefully packaged for safe delivery across the UK.
A few simple rules
Most tropical houseplants want the same basic things. Get these right and you'll rarely go wrong.
Bright, indirect light
A spot near a window but out of direct midday sun suits almost every plant on this page. A few metres back from a south-facing window is ideal.
Water when the compost dries
Most tropical houseplants prefer to dry out slightly between waterings. Push your finger into the compost — if the top layer is dry, it's time to water.
A little humidity helps
Grouping plants together naturally raises humidity. A pebble tray with water or occasional misting gives them a boost, especially in winter when central heating dries the air.
Keep them warm
Avoid cold draughts and windowsills that drop below 15°C at night. Most tropical plants are perfectly happy in a normal heated home.
