We are becoming a nation obsessed with houseplants! But this year in particular (with us spending more time inside than ever before) our love for greenery has blossomed. Not only have houseplants been shown to have a positive impact on our mental health and wellbeing but they’re also great for our physical health, as many provide much-needed anti-pollutants, ensuring the air we breathe is fresh and full of oxygen. So it’s easy to see the appeal of them!
Not to mention they look lovely dotted around a living room, bedroom or even bathroom and are a great talking point when guests come over. From tall, floor-standing plants to pretty trailing foliage, there are lots of ways you can use plants to dress your space. And, for those who can’t be bothered to water, feed and dust them, artificial designs are incredibly realistic these days.
If you thought Black Friday was all about appliances and furniture, then plant lovers rejoice! This year, there are lots of great discounts to be found on stylish planters, real plants and artificial plants to green-up your home.

For a pop of colour, we love this green stoneware pot from Wayfair. For indoor use, this 12.5cm by 14cm pot has a beautiful scalloped design which is reminiscent of a mermaid’s tale. With a saving of more than £10, it’s a real bargain buy.
Two Hanging Metal Planters: were £95, now £61.75, Cox & Cox
This set of two planters is perfect for livening up a dull corner. Made from iron, they are solid, but look contemporary.
Light Blue Metal Planter: was £25, now £20, Debenhams
A pretty planter with feet, so it won’t leave a mark on your furniture and gives trailing plants space to dangle.
Novelty Slogan Planter: was £10, now £7.50, Argos
We love this ‘You Grow Girl’ pot – ideal for a green-fingered friend this Christmas.

So what are you waiting for? It’s time to stock up on houseplants, pots and accessories and give your spaces the green makeover they deserve.
It’s also worth pointing out that there are plenty more options out there if you do a little digging. In fact, some retailers even have categories to help you along with your purchase, including ‘unkillable’ categories for those who struggle to keep their plants alive.
