How to Make Your Plants Happy

A green thumb is certainly something to be admired. I spent years barely being able to keep a succulent alive. Air plants – that don’t really need water – gonners. But spring is a great time to give houseplants another go! While cut flowers are always a yes, having a living thing around literally breathes fresh life into your space. I’ve now kept two fiddle fig leaf plants kickin’ for over two years {hallelujah!}, but I think I’ve found a new secret weapon for keeping plants happy – give them a gorgeous spot to hang out!

I’m officially obsessed with these seriously stylish plant stands from IVY MUSE.

Rather than having your snake plant tucked in a corner or your rubber plant just sitting on a shelf, these beautfiul powder-coated metal stands will make your house plants the star of your living space! I love the line’s geometric shapes, poppy colors ranging from electric blue to a gorgeous gray {copper is my fave obvi}, varying heights – perfect for creating a little living vignette!

These pieces are design and made entirely in Melbourne, AUS by a killer design duo Jacqui Vidal who sells unique art at Signed & Numbered, and Alana Langan whose online boutique Hunt & Bow is equally chic. IVY MUSE just released their second plant stand collection, Nightshade which adds more styles and colors to their mix of stands and offers a limited edition series beautiful wheelthrown pots to accompany them. I only hope these collections keep coming!

Sadly, it does not appear that IVY MUSE ships to the States. Anyone in Australia feel like sending us a little care package?!
