Thriving While You Enjoy Summer

Summer is for sunshine, travel and long lazy days – not for worrying about your houseplants. With a little thoughtful preparation, your indoor greenery can stay happy and healthy until you return.

1. Water well, then move them

Give each plant a thorough drink a day before you leave, let excess water drain, and shift them away from direct sun into bright, indirect light.

2. Group & humidity

Cluster plants together and place them on a pebble tray with a little water. They’ll create their own moist microclimate.

3. Simple self-watering helpers

For longer trips, add watering globes or a cotton wick from a water reservoir – elegant solutions that work quietly while you’re away.

Many of the plants and arrangements we create at Sayeh & Galton are chosen with real homes in mind, so they fit beautifully into everyday life – even when you’re on holiday.

Pop into our Hampstead shop on Flask Walk or join us at the Floral Academy for more plant-care tips, stylish self-watering tools, or a fresh new houseplant to welcome you home.
