Q&A with Agata @_piesogrodnika_
This is what I like Instagram for! Six months ago Sylwia @sylplants from Warsaw told me there’s this Agata who lives in my town, Poznań, and she’s nice (rare human), and she knows WAY more about plants then I do (perfect!) and she has a plant shop and we can talk and laugh just like regular plant peasants…

Shopping for plants at Ikea
Ikea is a magic yet devouring place where (sometimes) you can find nice plants at a fine price. I will always be for shopping at local plant shops first, but when in Ikea… I mean, common 😉 One time Ikea in Poland decided to put Monstera deliciosa on their shelfs.

To water, or not to water, that is the question
DILEMMA To water or not to water, that is the question. The most important one if you want to keep your home jungle healthy and growing. My answer is simple – don’t. Wait, I don’t mean “at all”. Just don’t do it if you’re not sure whether it must be today. It’s better to break up with…

How to take a cutting from Pilea
