From striking Monstera (Swiss Cheese) plants to Mother-In-Law’s Tongue and Aloe Vera, you’ll be in botanical heaven.
Mother-In-Law’s Tongue
Once you’ve settled on your plant, you can choose a lovely little pot to put it in. There is a wide selection available which includes concrete, terracotta, weathered, ceramic, glazed, and natural-looking varieties. Planters on stands, pots dangling from hanging macramé string and more are ready for a new home.
Selection of Plant Pots
Terrariums are gorgeous plant greenhouses which can be used as decorative objects if placed on a shelf or mantlepiece. Choose a pyramid, cube, diamond or hexagonal shape terrarium and arrange a few plants inside.
