I am a plant blogger with a mission:
Inspire the internet generation with
Super Green Fingers!

 

 

I would like to teach you more about plants!

You do not have to be stressed by a dying plant; all you need is some knowledge about how to deal with your green housemates. On my online channels I try to inspire the internet generation to develop green fingers.



I register the growth process of my plants on social media: Every day I place a picture of my most beautiful plants on Instagram, here you can see my recent pictures:

🌱 GREEN FRIDAY! 🌱 Together with you I want to turn this Black Friday into a Green Friday. My webshop is open today until 16.00 and for every book that is sold, I will adopt 1 m2 of rainforest in Costa Rica! And that isn't all, each book will be sig
An ode to the common houseplant. I really like how such a simple Epipremnum can make such a big impression.⁠ ⁠ Lately I see so many very special and rare plants here on Instagram and people paying loads of money for the rarest plant. And while I do t
Look what came in the mail! The new plant light PlantSpectrum16 by @mother.life.official ✨⁠ ⁠ What I love about this plant light is the bright and colorless light. Other plant lights often produce colored light, making your plants look weirdly pink.
Living room in autumn style. The shadows are getting darker, but the vibe is getting cozier. I have to start thinking about baby-proofing the house. All the plants are for grabs and there are a lot of plant stands and stools that hold my plants, but
Which way to grow to?! This is an older photo of this Pilea. The main branch started leaning down, which is the natural way of growth for this plant. If you want to have it growing upwards, you'll have to give it some support. ⁠ ⁠ Pilea's still make
Hydnophytum (Maze-plant) still going strong. For my video with care tips I cut a part of the bulb, to show what is hiding inside this plant. All these holes and little tunnels.⁠ ⁠ If you want to do this, be aware that the wound can infect easily so t
All you need for a cozy corner: a red chair and plants. And then some more plants. ⁠ ⁠ I gave my Anthurium clarinervium some extra light, hoping it'll grow new beautiful leaves. The result: a flower is growing! I'm not really fond of that, as they co
Art by Ellen Groenendijk, Bow's mom, plants by me 😊 That Ficus is with me for a long time already. I've cut it several times, making it grow more branches.⁠ ⁠ The variegated Monstera is not my happiest plant. There are always thrips on it! 😣 I've g

I started Mama Botanica as a plant shelter, where I was a foster mother for homeless plants. During my searches on the internet, I noticed that it is difficult to find good information; the best plant care tips are hidden in vintage books. That is why my focus is on sharing my knowledge via social media and I also give workshops on plant care. I want to bring people closer to nature. With plants around you you become aware of the world in which we live; the way you experience your living environment changes and you will automatically become less stressed and more focused. And I think plants just look beautiful!

By sharing content that really helps you, I try to involve everyone: from care tips, tutorials on making cuttings and inspiration to put plants together (or hang them) to mindfulness moments. In this way I hope to inspire people to surround themselves with plants. And now I also want to infect you with the plant virus and give you Super Green Fingers!
