After finally being able to buy and move into our first home in Southsea, Portsmouth, we felt able to bring nature into our lives the way we’d always wanted to.
A year into plant parenthood, I decided it was time to set up a separate Instagram account, to connect and share with others who love plants, while also reducing the plant spam to my IRL friends!
And so @SouthseaJungle was born.
Since then, we’ve joined real parenthood, and the plants have taken a bit of a backseat. I downsized our collection from 200 plants to a much more manageable number!
Now more than ever, with the work/childcare/life juggle I find it’s important to take time out to pause, reflect, and connect with nature – and houseplants are perfect for that.

Sharing plant advice
I’m often sending my advice on plant care to friends and family who are getting started with houseplants. Though I’m no botany expert, I love sharing my experience to help others also find the joy of houseplants.
So here it is, written up properly – for friends and family, and anyone else who might find it useful 🌱💚
