🌿💚 LET’S TALK ABOUT COLEUS… THE UNDERRATED BEAUTIES! ❤️💛

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how absolutely GORGEOUS coleus plants are?! 😍🌿

Lucas and I recently went to pick up some coleus to use as topper plants for our aquariums, and honestly, I was reminded just how stunning these plants really are!

Look at those colours! ❤️💜💚 The deep burgundy centres, bright lime-green edges and all those incredible patterns. No two varieties seem to bring quite the same look, and they can add so much colour without needing a single flower!

And the best part? They’re SO versatile! 🌱

🪴 In pots: A beautiful pop of colour on a patio, balcony or windowsill.

🌺 In the garden: Perfect for adding colourful foliage to garden beds and borders.

🏡 Indoors: A bright, colourful foliage plant for the right spot.

🐠 In our home: We’re even using them as aquarium topper plants, with their roots in the water and foliage growing above it! (Just make sure the leaves stay out of the water and that the plants haven’t been treated with anything unsafe for your aquarium.)

I think coleus sometimes get overlooked because we’re all busy chasing the next rare or unusual plant… but sometimes the most beautiful plants are the ones that have been right in front of us all along. 🥹💚

They’re colourful, eye-catching and bring so much personality to a plant collection!

Tell me, are you a coleus lover, or have these beauties been flying under your radar too? 👀🌿

I’d love to know which variety is your favourite!

🌸 A FIRST FOR ME AT CHANCE TO GROW! 🌿💚

Okay, I’m a little bit excited about this one! 🤩🥹

After owning my Hoya Mathilde for around 12 months, I have finally been rewarded with my VERY FIRST HOYA FLOWERS! 🌸✨

This was actually the very first Hoya I ever bought, and it’s still my favourite. 💚 So you can imagine how excited I was to discover that it was finally flowering!

Not only is this the first time THIS Hoya has flowered for me, but it’s the first time ANY of my Hoyas have flowered. 🥹🌿

I’ve spent so much time growing, propagating and caring for my plants, and little moments like this are such a lovely reminder of why I love what I do. Sometimes it’s the tiniest things that make you happiest!

Just look at those little star-shaped flowers! 😍🌸

Now I’m curious… does anyone else get ridiculously excited when their plants do something for the very first time? 😂💚 Tell me about your latest plant achievement!

🌿🐠 My love of plants doesn’t stop at the garden!

Most of you see me sharing my houseplants, propagation projects and little growing adventures, but did you know plants are also a huge part of my other hobby — fishkeeping? 💚

I love incorporating houseplants into my aquariums, with their roots growing in the water while their leaves grow above it. Not only does it look beautiful, but the plants can also help absorb excess nutrients from the water.

It’s another way to enjoy plants, and I love watching everything grow together! 🌱🐟

Who else combines their love of plants with fishkeeping? I’d love to see your setups!

🌿 NEW LEAF DAY! ❤️

There’s something so satisfying about seeing new growth, especially when it’s as beautiful as this! 😍

Look at those colours and those gorgeous little frilly edges! Nature really does know how to put on a show. 🌱❤️

I’m still working on identifying the exact variety of begonia, but that new leaf definitely deserves its moment in the spotlight!

What’s growing new leaves in your collection at the moment?
