The Plants
The Classic boxes included Philodendron Florida plants. One of the reasons I love these plants so much is that they can grow really large and their leaf shape also changes drastically as they mature. I currently have one outside my kitchen door that has grown up to my shoulders. The beauties included in this month’s box are also quite big so they give you an immediate jungle vibe.
The Collectors received a very sought-after plant- a Philodendron Florida Beauty ‘Ghost’. When they mature, these plants look like a Philodendron Florida however the newest leaves are white and as they get older they turn green. This means on a singular plant you can get leaves that are white, cream, lime, or green. Your plant is further classified as a ‘Mint’ variant, and this is evident in the dappled ‘mint’ colouring on some of the leaves. This attribute makes them pretty sought after. These plants are juvenile and so you will see as they grow, their leaf shape will slowly start changing.
The Collaboration
For this month’s collaboration, we partnered with two amazing brands, E.d.e.n Skin Body Soul and Poles and Plants.
In 2020, Bianca found herself in a dark place and consequently discovered a love for self-care and candles. Wanting to share that with people, she decided to start E.d.e.n Skin Body Soul, aptly named after her daughter, Eden. You can now find Bianca making candles in the evenings or on weekends when she is not at a craft market. In the classic box, members received a hand-made candle and in the collector’s box, a pamper box with a candle, a bar of soap and a bath bomb. Give Bianca a follow on Instagram (@eden_skinbodysoul), or contact her directly on 086 003 5524.
