2024 has started again with a wet week and then a very cold week in Europe. So gardening is not ideal during this period. So for lovers of all things growing and flowering, the focus is more on the green decoration toppers: tropical houseplants and orchids.
From winter bloomers to beautiful foliage plants. We again have all the fun and exciting ideas what you can do with your plants this year to enjoy your favorite hobby even more. What's more, to start 2024 relaxed!
Preparing for spring
Are you, like me, always stressed when my stubborn plant collection starts growing again in spring? Suddenly I run out of plant food, the watering can is broken, I have blunt pruning shears and not enough moss poles for my houseplants on my busy weekend. That's why now is exactly the month to stock up nicely. That way we can start our planting adventure in 2024 all zen and prepared. Then I will hopefully have time to give my plant cabinet a green back wall.
Wishlist of special plants
Every year new and special houseplants and orchids come on the market. I get asked a lot what's hot or new right now. "Lots of things!" I say enthusiastically and then quickly show all the new gems on the new plants page of our website, which Rik has found again at suppliers. But all that beauty and news is sometimes so hard to choose. Of course, I can't fit everything in my home. Besides, I am often too shy about big prices, because then I think I will fall short with the rest of my fixed expenses.
That's why I started working with my bank app. Nowadays, many banks have a nice piggy bank feature. Then you can, for example, set aside a certain amount each month for various goals you want to achieve and it makes it a lot easier to see how far along you are and when you can finally get that beautiful rare tropical plant. Super convenient!
Enjoy the jungle
One more thing I want to give you for 2024 is to enjoy your green oasis. You don't only have to take care of it. Meditating, painting or watching a movie among your plants is also a way to relax. Just think about something else and relax in between.
