There’s a hotel for house plants to keep them ‘safe’ while you’re on holiday

Olivia Hayes

This is pretty random.

If you adore having some greenery in your room/kitchen/where ever, then we’re right there with you. There’s something about having house plants that make your living space so much better. It just feels more welcoming, more lived in and more like home.

However, many of us like to go away on holiday from time to time and don’t really want to ask anyone to drop by the gaff and water the plants. Effort, like.

Well, there’s a concept over in the UK that might just pick up in Ireland pretty soon.

Online plant delivery shop Patch has created a new hotel for house plants.

You can leave your plants in with specialist who will do everything from watering them to keeping them in the right place/away from shade/in the sun, etc.

According to The Mirror, Rose Grower, the house plant hotel manager, said: “The hotel is a sanctuary for your beloved plants. They will be in great company and looked after with the respect and love they so richly deserve.

“So many of us have asked a friend or family member to water the plants when we’re away, only to return to disappointment – the hotel not only saves your plants alive, but your relationships too.”
