Give a Gift that grows this Christmas!
Spread some PEACE ON EARTH with a Peace Lily in a beautiful pot.
Spathiphyllum or Peace Lillies are regarded as one of the most popular indoor plants because of its beautiful lush dark green leaves and its crisp white lily looking flower. Spathiphyllums grow in quite low light and will flower in those contitions too, there is almost no position in your house where one will not grow! Spathiphyllums do like to have a bit of a drink but on the other hand they will tolerate drying out too! if you forget to water your spathiphyllum give it a soak in a bucket so it is fully saturated, let it drain and it will come good for you. They are very forgiving but never let them sit in water.
Spathiphyllums love to be potted up, if you are struggling to get your spath to flower, pot it into some fresh soil in a slightly bigger pot and give it some fertiliser like Flourish, this may stimulate flowering.
Ribbed Cylinder Teal Pot I'm not sure if this one is for Mum or me for Christmas. I thnk the best gifts are the ones you dont want to give away. This beautiful ceramic fluted teal pot is my favorite colour and design. it will create a stylish feature pot and is avalable in 3 sizes.

Bright White is an all new Mandevilla bred for Australian conditions. This variety offers luminating white trumpet shaped
flowers with bright green, glossy foliage resulting in a plant that absolutely radiates in the sun. This mandevilla will climb, trail or cascade if given the chance, but otherwise will retain a neat, compacty, shrub-like habit. Enjoys full sun positions with free-draining soils. They will withstand high heats and will benefit from organically enriched soils.
Spider plants producing strappy green and white striped leaves and can survive well almost anywhere outdoors or indoors in any position.

Instagram Inspiration Novelty planters pair perfectly with a mini indoor plant for a quick gift! ??
It has a bushy growth habit, with its final height being somewhat dependent upon garden conditions. It can grow from 50cm to 1 meter with a similar width, taking 2-5 years to reach full size. Golden Sage has quite showy, two-lipped blue-purple flowers.
The fragrant leaves are variegated with the plant providing contrast between deeper grey greens, golden green and creamy yellow coloured leaves. The contrast varies with the intensity of colour. In turn, this is affected by the amount of sunlight the plant receives. More light results in a much stronger variegated pattern.
Golden Sage prefers a full sun aspect, with some shelter and will take partial shade. This sage is happy to grow in any type of well drained soil and has average water requirements. It can take quite dry conditions, as it is closely related to the Common Sage which is suited to warm temperate environments. Naturally, watering in the warm summer months will be met with good results. However, it is important to avoid excessive wet soils from winter rains, or the plant will be susceptible to the roots rotting in soggy and cold soil.
Golden Sage is an ideal plant for perennial borders where the coloured leaves will provide all season, or in some areas year round interest. If it grows a little too high for your border it is easily pruned to meet the right height. This sage also does well in containers if you lack space or live in a cold or frost risk region. It may be propagated by soft wood cuttings in spring and semi-hardwood cuttings in late summer.
