The Most Aesthetic Plants – Competition 2026
We launched a competition asking our customers to send us photos of their most aesthetic houseplants growing in our substrates - and boy, you didn’t disappoint!
We had so many emails from you showing off your beautiful plant babies, for the chance to win a cheeky Soil.Ninja voucher. We honestly enjoyed this so much that we’ll be planning another competition soon!
Below, you’ll find our 10 runners-up and 1 winner, along with the plants they entered and what they used from our range to grow their stunning plants.
