🌵🌸 A beautiful surprise from an ageing cactus!

Today this very long cactus gave us the most beautiful flower — and it got us thinking about something many people may not know about: corking.

You’ll notice that around two-thirds of this cactus has become brown, rough and woody. This is called corking.

Corking is a natural process that can happen as many cacti mature and get older. The skin gradually becomes thicker, harder and more woody, creating a protective layer around the older parts of the plant.

It can look a little strange if you’ve never seen it before, but corking is not necessarily a sign that your cactus is dying or unhealthy. In many mature cacti, it is simply part of the ageing process.

And the best proof? 🌸
After all these years, this cactus is still growing, and today it rewarded us with the most beautiful flower! ❤️

🌵 Sometimes the oldest plants still have the most beautiful surprises. 😍

🌿✨ A LITTLE CALATHEA SURPRISE! ✨🌿

I came across something quite special at the nursery… our Calathea Rufibarba was FLOWERING! 🌼😍

Did you know that Calathea Rufibarba is actually a flowering plant, but its blooms are rarely seen, especially when grown as a houseplant? So finding these little yellow flowers was such a lovely surprise! 💛

🌱 A few fun facts:

• Also known as the Furry Feather or Velvet Calathea
• It is native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil 🇧🇷
• Its long, wavy leaves have a beautiful velvety, furry texture, with reddish-purple tones underneath.
• The name rufibarba comes from Latin words meaning “red beard”, referring to the reddish hairs on the leaves and stems.
• The flowers are small and yellow and appear in compact clusters.
• It prefers warmth, humidity and filtered or indirect light — just like its natural rainforest home. 🌿

And this is why we love plants… you never know what little surprise they have waiting for you! 🥰🌱

🐝 Their bright flowers attract beneficial insects and pollinators
🌱 They add colour and biodiversity to your veggie patch

And the best part? They’re easy to grow and love the sunshine! ☀️

So when you’re planting your veggies, don’t forget the marigolds! 🌼🧡

🦆 OUR UNEXPECTED VISITORS! 🌿💚

We had the sweetest little visitors at Pots of Love Nursery this week! 🥰

Two grown-up ducks and NINE adorable ducklings decided to come wandering through the nursery! 🦆🦆🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥

Did you know that ducklings can swim almost as soon as they hatch? They also stay very close to their mother, following her everywhere while she keeps a watchful eye over them.

Ducks are wonderful little helpers in nature too. They enjoy eating insects, snails and other small creatures, helping to keep the natural ecosystem in balance. 🌱

We’re not quite sure where this little family was heading, but we were very happy they chose to make a little stop at Pots of Love! ❤️

Nature really does bring the most unexpected visitors. 🌿🦆

Why They Are Great for Your Garden: 🪴

Natural pest control: They devour common garden nuisances like aphids, flies, mosquitoes, and small beetles. 🪰 🦟

Precision hunters: Because they do not spin messy webs, they keep your plants looking clean and clear. 🌱

Plant protectors: Their constant hunting stops pest populations from multiplying and damaging leaves or flowers. 🍃

Chemical-free helpers: Encouraging them reduces the need for harmful chemical pesticides in your garden beds

🌿 An Opportunity to Own Pots of Love Nursery 🌿

After many months of thought, prayer and conversations with my family, my husband and I have made the decision to offer Pots of Love Nursery for sale.

This wasn't a decision made because we no longer love what we've built—quite the opposite.

With a few other businesses, and young children, we’ve realised that we need to prioritise, simplify and realign our focus and commitments. While this decision hasn’t been easy, we believe it is the right one for our family.

Pots of Love has become so much more than a nursery. It's been a place where friendships have grown, gardens have come to life, and a wonderful community of plant lovers has formed. Every plant, every conversation and every smiling face has made this journey incredibly special.

Our greatest hope is to find someone who will continue nurturing what has been built here and write the next chapter of Pots of Love with the same care and passion.

🌱 For now, nothing changes.

The nursery remains open as usual, and we'll continue welcoming you with the same love and care you've always known while we search for the right new owner.

To every customer, supplier, friend and supporter—thank you. You've been part of something truly special, and we're incredibly grateful for each and every one of you.

If you, or someone you know, has ever dreamed of owning a well-loved plant nursery with an established customer base and a beautiful brand, I'd love to hear from you.

Please feel free to get in touch for a confidential conversation.

Confession time… 😂

I greet my indoor plants before I greet most people.

No judgment—they’re great listeners, never interrupt, and always brighten my day. 🌿💚

Anyone else guilty of talking to their plants?
