Plants that live where you put them
Most houseplants don’t die of neglect. They die of being put in the wrong spot. This is a proper plan for which plants go where, and what to put them in.

Concept visual
Light is nearly the whole thing. A fiddle leaf fig in a north-facing corner is a slow decline. The same plant two metres from a south-facing window becomes a tree. So I start with your photographs and which way your windows face, rather than with a wishlist.
You get a planting plan room by room, the right pots so that they look good as objects in their own right, and honest care notes: how often, how much, and which ones will forgive you a fortnight away.
Good for
- A flat that needs something alive in it
- A shelf of plants that keep dying in rotation
- A dark corner nothing has survived yet
How it works
The same way, whatever the space.
Show me your space
Send over some photographs from your phone, or walk me round with a quick video if that’s easier, along with rough measurements and some honest answers about how you actually use the space. It takes about 20 minutes.
Review the concept
Within a week, I’ll add a concept board to , covering the direction, the colours, and the layout. Have a look through it and let me know what’s working for you and what isn’t.
Get your finished design
The final board, a layout drawn to scale, and a clickable list of recommended pieces and peat-free planting, all kept within your budget and sourced ethically where it matters.
Everything happens in writing, through , wherever you are in the UK. No calls to join and no meetings to arrange. Three rounds of changes are included, and every enquiry, concept and list comes from me, personally.
