Veterinarian Mohamed Osman’s life changed a year ago when he suffered from a heart attack aged 35: During his recuperation he began filling his home with plants, and he hasn’t looked back since. Now every conceivable surface of his home is filled with greenery, including Calatheas, Marantas, Monsteras, and Pothos.
Look out for… his mighty Monstera deliciosa.
Helsinki, Finland

When you first get a glimpse of this account, you won’t know what to lust after first. Check out her incredible cactus planter made out of a vintage television set and her enormous spider plant.

Oh, and he has a ridiculously large but wonderful watering can. Lefrançois has a great eye for displaying greenery, so it’s no surprise that in his day job he’s in the visual arts, working as a graphic designer (@pulpandpixel).

The first thing that drew me to Angela Rapisarda’s account was not her wonderful plant collection, but the carved wooden door that provides the backdrop to many of her photos. She has a collection of giant Coleus I’d like to steal, and some delectable Begonias.
Look out for… Angela’s Alocasia ‘Red Secret’.
