House Plants

For quality houseplants, Fosseway Garden Centre is tops. Seasonal specialities mean that it’s worth visiting to see what we have in - we might surprise you!

You might expect orchids, hydrangeas and peace lilies in summer, or poinsettias in December, all in excellent condition, but we can also offer you varieties of cactus plants and other interesting additions.

Ask our team for advice on the best houseplant for any home or office situation, and on how to care for your plants.

We carry a range of houseplant accessories, such as feeds (general and specialist for orchids and cacti), compost, fans and obelisks for training climbing plants, pots and attractive ceramic cache-pots.

House plants make wonderful gifts for almost any occasion, and many flowering houseplants such as roses and hydrangeas, can be planted outside later for a long-lasting reminder of the celebratory event.

House Plants Advice & Tips

Cultivation

Most houseplants require bright filtered light. Light levels decrease rapidly as plants are placed further back from the window. It is important to avoid sun through glass as this can scorch the leaves of tropical plants.

As light levels fall in the winter some plants may benefit from being moved to a lighter position such as nearer a window as long as the minimum required temperatures can be maintained.

During winter, move plants to rooms which are not overheated during the day, but maintain the required minimum temperatures. Avoid placing plants near open fires, radiators, in draughts, or on windowsills on frosty nights.

Tropical plants require a humid atmosphere. Mist plants daily, or, better, place on a tray of damp gravel or expanded clay granules (Hydroleca or Hortag). Plants grouped together will create a humid micro-climate around their leaves.
