What’s your favourite houseplant and why?
I love all plants and don’t really have a favourite – it makes me genuinely happy to see them all thriving. But if I had to choose, I’d say my giant Thai Constellation. It takes up half our living room, and sitting under its huge leaves after a long day is just incredibly calming.

How did you get started with houseplants?
I grew up in the countryside, where plants were a big part of everyday life – indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouses. They weren’t just something pretty to have around, they were essential for food and wellbeing. That way of living stuck with me and still shapes my lifestyle today.

What’s one plant care tip you swear by?
Plants have been around far longer than we have and they don’t need much to be happy – just a good spot and a bit of support. When a plant is in the right place, it often thrives with minimal effort. Constantly moving it, overwatering, or using lots of products can do more harm than good. Sometimes the best thing you can do is just let it be.

What do you do when you’re not surrounded by plants?
I love classic sci-fi series, true crime podcasts, and historical documentaries. And when the sun’s out, there’s nothing better than a long walk or hike with our dog, Noel.

What’s your favourite thing about working here?
I love that we’ve created a space that feels happy – not just for us and the team, but also for everyone who visits. Running a plant shop is hard work and comes with its challenges, but it’s incredibly rewarding, and that keeps me going every day.
