In the last few years, my house has become a little bit overrun with house plants. Currently, my house plants take up just about every surface in my house, much to the frustration of some of the people who live with me. At first, my house plants brightened up my home but as my collection grew, things look more and more cluttered and I’m able to get less use out of desks, tables and countertops.
As someone who enjoys house plants and doesn’t want to either stop collecting plants or drastically reduce the number of plants that I own, I’ve been thinking about ways to style and display houseplants more thoughtfully. To do this, I’ve been visiting plant shops to get ideas on how to better use my plants to enhance my home’s overall style.
I love the idea of hanging plants from the ceiling and have never thought about hanging plants at different levels, grouping them together to create an interesting set.
My favorite styling technique was directly connecting plants to walls with clips made especially to suspend terracotta pots.
I also liked how racks could also do the same, perfectly space out plants to make a beautiful plant grid.
As a terracotta lover, I appreciate finding different terracotta styles that look more aged and come in different colors.

It’s that time of year when it’s time to separate pups from my snake plants (Sansevierias).
This is my snake plant. It has been growing a pup for the last six months that I am giving to a friend who is new to houseplants. Snake plants are pretty easy to take care of and my friend was happy to start out with a plant that isn’t too fussy.
I started by taking my snake plant out of its pot by simply turning it over when the soil was a little drier.
Once it was out of the pot, I check over the roots and isolated the pup. Making sure the pup had enough roots to survive on its own, I decided to move forward.
I snipped the pup from the mother plant with a pair of very sharp and cleaned clippers at the spot where the pup connect to the mother plant.
The pup looked healthy with plenty of roots to take in nutrients and water.
I potted the pup in its own pot in preparation to take it to my friend the following Monday.
If you have any suggestions or questions, leave me a comment! I am always looking for feedback and new ideas.
Until next time, be well and take care!
