I learned this the hard way! 🫣😅

Here in Queensland the Hawkmoth has expensive taste.
It lays it’s eggs only on my Monstera plants.
I thought it is getting cold now and they would stop laying but…I found 6 single eggs on this variegated Albo and 5 on the Aurea. 🫣
The caterpillars have an astonishing appetite and can chew a leaf in half in a day.
It pays to check the leaves regularly.
Have you seen them on your plants?

Plant Presents will be closed
for 3 weeks from next Monday on!

So, we like to clear out our rare and variegated indoor plants.
10% -15% will be off the plants.

I am sure you can get a really good deal on some plants. 😉

As usual, I will be in the studio from 1pm on this week, apart from Friday.
Friday will only be later in the afternoon.
The weekend will be open from 11am.
Come by and let’s have a chat. 😁🥳👋

The horticultural display won the great prize of ‘Best Pavilion Display’! 🥳🏆
The first time since 2013! Yay!

There are so many wonderful people involved in this years’ super successful Gympie District Show .

There is the amazing team of volunteers of the Horticultural Society, Ian, Anni, Narelle and Ben in the area of the indoor plants and the fantastic floral displays.
Many people who brought in their best plants to show them and of course the fabulous team of Odd Spot Plants , Lisa and Neil, who generously helped with the indoor plant display again.

Thank you to all of you. It is a pleasure to be part of it.
