Latest indoor plant selection, Clare Street

We had a busy February and early March in our Clare Street shop. The colder weather and lack of light can be hard on indoor plants, and we have been reminding our customers to water very little during this period and to give plants as much natural light as possible. When plants are colder and are not growing, the last thing most plants want is soggy roots. In fact, we purchased a number of sunlight simulation lightbulbs from Soltech in the US to give our plants a boost of natural, full-spectrum sunlight. We were lucky to supply one new large Dublin hotel - the Leinster Hotel on lower Mount Street, almost our neighbour -  with hundreds of interior plants. This kept us busy and meant that our stock rotated very quickly. How lovely is it that hotels now invest so heavily in indoor plants? This hotel group has a full time horticulturist, so it's good to know that 'our' plants will be well taken care of.

Another factor in indoor plant care that our customers are becoming aware of is the importance of using the correct compost. As a result of that we stock a full range of specialist indoor plant composts  for various plant types, as well as single components such as coco-husk, activated carbon, perlite, vermiculite, pumice, worm castings..... they all make a difference.

Here's a list of what we had in stock approx mid-March. Please note, plants come and go on a weekly basis, so not everything on this list will be in our shop at the time of your visit.
