Sick Orchid Update - Has Nature's Gift worked?

It's Crunch Time!

I've had a request for an update video of my very poorly Phalaenopsis orchid.

Orchid update - click the video at the bottom of this post

The story so far...

It was starting to struggle to stay hydrated, and only managed one flower this year, so I decided to repot. The roots were officially awful, rotten, mouldy and I ended up removing most of them, cleaning what was left with Isopropyl Alcohol and repotting in a clean pot with fresh medium watch that video here

Then I had a message from E-Coco Products UK, who had seen the vidoe and felt they had a product that might help cure the root rot. So I filmed another video which you can see here,

Three and a half months later, it's time to see if there is any hope for this orchid, are there any roots left in that soil?
Come and find out with me, keep your fingers crossed!

RHS Malvern Spring Festival

Visiting an RHS Show for the First Time

Hi everyone,
Last week I got the opportunity to travel across the country to visit the RHS Malvern Spring Festival - think Chelsea Flower Show, but a fraction earlier and a lot easier to get your purchases home from!

Spoiler Alert - I bought a new Hosta

I was delighted to be invited by the lovely team from E-Coco Products to be their guest, get to meet and film them, and get loads of garden inspiration too!

Click the link below and come and join me in this week's YouTube video, see what I saw, and what I bought too ⌣

Enjoy!

Surprise Orchid Update 2019 - Nature's Gift vs Root Fungus

Root Fungus on Phalaenopsis Orchid

In this week's video we are asking one of life's biggest questions...well, maybe. Could Nature's Gift from E-Coco Products solve my root fungus problems. I don't know, but they've sent it to me to try, so I'm prepared to unpot this poor orchid all over again.

Come and see what's going on in the surprise update video.
Enjoy!
Love

Preparing my Carnivourous Plants for Winter

My carnivorous plants have been lovely this year, in this video I start the process of preparing them for the winter.

Get yourself a cuppa and see what my little munchers have been eating all summer long.

Planting up the Hay Racks for Winter Interest

Hi everyone,
I'm well behind with posting my YouTube videos here on the blog. If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram then you know that my father has been very unwell, so we've been making a lot of hospital visits to see him.

In this video I'm planting up the hay rack baskets that sit under my craftroom window. I wanted to refresh them with some Autumn/Winter colour, and I must say, I'm very pleased with the results.

Enjoy!
Lots of love

Create a quick table decoration with succulent cuttings

Hi there,

My vision for this week's project was a centrepiece for an alfresco dinner party. I had so much fun creating this lovely table decoration, and it was so quick, inexpensive and easy to do!

I bought the reclaimed cedar planter from Pembury Recycle for a princely sum of £8.00
The compost is my trusty E-Coco Products Cactus and Succulent one, and the small amount probably cost £1.50-2.00
The candle and votive were leftovers from Christmas, you could use something you have already.
The plants are all free cuttings taken from my existing plants.

I'd love you to try something similar and let me know how you get on in the comments ☺

Lots of love
