PLANTS for PLEASURE and AIR HEALTH
A variety of decorative plants - mostly indoors or some optional. These are grown by myself in new, well fed soils and all have established root systems. Over time I have found most plants these days are prone to insects, so it always pays to keep an eye on their condition for the best results.
Monstera Delicosa = $10 and $12
Fruit Salad Plant x 2 only. They'll get big in big pots or stay smaller if you choose.
Calathea Zebrina = $12
A vari toned Calathea. There is a huge variety of this genus and I love the deep contrast of green in this one.
Maranta Lueconeura = $10 or $12
A Prayer Plant (with red stripes), with leaves that curl at night. These like reflected light and to be kept near, not close to, windows. They like to droop over the edge of your container, so positioned suitably is always a good choice. Once well established and come Spring they will be on their way. They frequently have a wee mauve flower on the end of a stem.
Aloe Vera = $10
Multi individual plants in a pot x 1 $10. Can be split up and planted or distributed separately. They wouldn't like damp shady places much, but otherwise are pretty easy going. For scratches, burns, cuts they are brilliant. I've used glass and soldering irons a lot and minor cuts or burns are sure to be 'gone' with use of aloe vera jell (the inside of the leaves) as well as bites, grazes and such. Personally, but for no particular reason I would not apply them to open wounds.
Bromeliads = $3-4 ea and one mult-plant pot $24
Various of the more everyday type. Up to 20 at $3-4 each. Some bigger, some younger. The group of flowering ones with the pot (inner pot) are $24.00. These are easy to keep, live on little, multiply well and flower, in normal conditions. They are watered from their centre.
All are for pick up in Levin or by arrangement for nearby multiple purchase/s.

Palmerston North people 👋
It seems like nearly every second day we are hearing about someone who has been scammed or messed around when they’re just trying to organise simple help. That's why I'm testing an idea for a local odd-jobs platform to help people get small household tasks done without the stress of trying to find someone reliable.
The goal is to build something that feels safe, local, and fair for everyone.
clear job descriptions
transparent pricing/bids
real profiles + ratings
We’ll start small with non-licensed jobs like:
🌿yard tidy-ups
🚮 rubbish removal
🚐 small moving help
🪣cleaning
🏠 minor repairs & maintenance (non-licensed)
The pilot won’t include electrical, gas, or certified plumbing.
With the cost of living right now, if you want to jump onboard as a customer or worker i’ve made an early access waitlist:

I’ve also got a fully anonymous survey up that takes less than two minutes. This will help me tailor the categories, pricing expectations and see what people want most:

If you’ve ever struggled to get a small job done because it’s “too small” for tradies, or if you’re someone who wants to earn extra money doing honest work - I’d really love your input.
👉You can also book on behalf of a family member who needs a bit of extra help.
Thanks heaps 🙌
