We’re celebrating all things beautiful and British, with our range of UK grown, 97% peat free plants. Sourced from family-run growers based in Chichester, where they dedicate over 5 acres of land to growing potted plants.
Not only is peat free a better choice for the environment, but it’s also better for your plants! Helping support growth and aid water retention – what more could you ask for?
Umbrella Plant doesn’t sound like the most elegant name in the world, but this plant certainly has some grace and sophistication about it. Also known as the Parasol Plant, it has pretty foliage in hues of yellow, gold and green, and has a tendency to grow fast.
Its age dictates its amount of leaves – so a mature plant will have over 12 leaves on one stalk, whereas a younger tree will have between four and six.
This is a tropical plant native to Taiwan and southern China, so providing it with humidity and warm temperatures will help it to thrive. If the leaves start to look yellow or droopy, then step away from the watering can as overwatering this plant will be its demise.
This plant is grown in a peat-free medium, so you may find that the top soil tends to dry out a little faster – but don’t worry, just use your finger and test to see if the top 2-3 inches of soil are still moist, to avoid overwatering. You’ll also want to treat your plant to fertiliser during growing season, as you won’t find the same nutrients in this mix as you’d find in traditional soil.
