Syngonium 'Neon' in Pastello Cylinder White Pot

Cascading houseplant with lush, coral rose, arrow shaped leaves that mature to marbled peachy pink and yellow. Ideal for indoors in pots and hanging baskets or outdoors in warm areas.

Grow in a partly shaded, warm position in well drained soil. Grow indoors in bright, indirect light. Keep soil moist but drier in Winter. Liquid fertilise regularly.

We have paired the Syngonium 'Neon' with a white Pastello Cylinder pot which goes very well to bring out the pink and green vibrancy of the leaves.

Osteospermum 'Blue Eyed Beauty'

Osteospermum 'Blue Eyed Beauty' has beautiful yellow and purple blooms that put a modern twist on a garden classic with a truly stunning appearance.
Osteospermum will grow in almost any climate, is strong and weather-tolerant and will flower between spring and autumn and even into winter as the temperatures drop.
They're compact so are ideal for tubs, containers or straight in the garden.

Height 25-35cm, Width 35-50cm, Full sun to part-shade conditions favoured.

Poinsettia in Tin

The Poinsettia, Euphorbia pulcherrima, is a festive plant native to Mexico, known for its vibrant red and green foliage.
The plant's red 'flowers' are actually specialised leaves called bracts and are popular decorations during the Christmas season.
To care ensure they have a brightly lit position out of direct sun, indoors or out, and avoiding overwatering. To encourage re-blooming, poinsettias need a period of short days and cooler temperatures (during the winter months)

Chilis Galore!

Chili plants, part of the Capsicum genus, yield various peppers like jalapeño, habanero, super hot and hot banana, just to name a few. Chili plants thrive in warm temperatures. They are often grown as annuals in temperate climates but can be perennials in tropical regions.

Chili plants require plenty of sunlight, ideally around 6-8 hours per day, with well-draining soil with organic matter. Chili plants prefer slightly moist soil. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's essential to allow the soil to dry out between watering.

Fertilise chilli plants with a fruit and citrus food during the growing season to produce plenty flowers and plenty of strong growth. Pruning can help chilli plants develop a bushier shape and may increase fruit production. Remove dead or diseased branches regularly. Chili peppers can be harvested at various stages of maturity, and their flavour can change as they ripen.

LUCERNE MULCH

Apart from the usual benefits of mulching, such as retaining soil moisture and keeping weeds at bay, straw mulches are fantastic for boosting the quality, water holding capacity and nutrition of your soil.
Lucerne is rich in potassium, calcium, iron and folic acid. It also increases the nitrogen in the soil. It is the quickest mulch to break down and improve the soil and would benefit from reapplication every six months.
