10 of the best plant influencers to follow on Instagram

WATCH: Join Graham as he meets Jason’s Chongue, a Melbourne-based architect, interior designer and plant cultivator at his inner city plant filled home.

While many people turn to Google or their local plant nursery for information, help and gardening inspiration, there are a growing number of people who turn to social media for the same thing. In fact, Plant Life Balance reports that 49% of Australians use social media as a source of gardening advice, and join social communities that offer care tips, style advice and tutorials.

With that in mind, we’ve pulled together a list of 10 indoor plant influencers that we think are worth following on Instagram right now.

#1 @rachelaust

Rachel Aust is a Melbourne-based influencer with an Instagram feed that will give your serious style inspiration for your indoor plants, plus a healthy dose of health and well-being advice.

This guy. We're always so chuffed to hear about all the positive experiences people have had with our products, and this guy is definitely no exception. 💪 Thought we'd take a minute to talk about some things you may or may not know about first product on the Plant Runner Range... 🌱 We developed our indoor plant food because we were tired of the ugly plastic bottles you'd find in hardware stores and thought there must be a better (looking / mess free) way to do this! 🌱 Despite containing seaweed, there is almost zero smell once diluted. 🌱 It's a complete feed, which means it contains both macro (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium) and micro (boron, iron, manganese, zinc, copper and molybdenum) nutrients, so your plants aren't missing out 👍 🌱 Our micronutrients are chelated, which makes for easy absorption for your plants! 🌱 It's not derived from animal products and we've made an effort to minimise the amount of plastic used in the packaging (plus glass just feels so good!) 🌱 This pretty little bottle makes up to 100L of plant food! 100L! 🌱 We launched it just over a year and half ago, bottling and labelling by hand on our back deck... And we've now sold over 50,000 bottles! 🤯🤯🤯 (we've had to move out from the back deck though) 😂😂 A huge thank you to every one who has ever bought a bottle of our Indoor Plant Food - we are absolutely humbled by it. 🙏

So this is me in action! Although to be honest this giant wreath was made by the many folk who came down to @sunkenstudioleeds open day yesterday. Alongside pottery throwing and hand building, we ran a wreath workshop with a bit of difference .... as the day progressed we went from structure to fullness and many people added their own creative inputs into the final piece. My phone died after a time lapse of a couple of hours but the amazing @_jocrawford was on hand to capture the day. #workshops #independents #independentwomen #botanicaldesign #leeds #wreath #festive #holidayseason

#5 @plantmama_

Indoor plant devotees, this one is for you. Plant Mama is the account of a plant designer and stylist who specialises in residential & commercial plant design and installations.

"Imposter syndrome can be defined as a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evident success. 'Imposters' suffer from chronic self-doubt and a sense of intellectual fraudulence that override any feelings of success or external proof of their competence. They seem unable to internalize their accomplishments, however successful they are in their field, and most tend to be. High achieving, highly successful people often suffer, so imposter syndrome doesn't equate with low self-esteem or a lack of self-confidence. An estimated 70% of people experience these impostor feelings at some point in their lives, most are women, and there have been studies that have shown that business owners equate to much of this phenomenon." I abssolllluttteellyyy suffer from this, and even my mentor calls me out on it. I still don't think I belong on this wild ride of a job, and then an online journal gets written about me and I get reminded of the achievements that I don't spend time enjoying. Thank you @bed.threads for calling me "one of Australia's most in-demand interior plant designers and stylists, Jenna transforms homes, workplaces and event spaces into spectacular works of living art. Jenna's home oozes character and originality-just like Plant Mama herself." Today I shall not be imposter sydrom-ing, today I shall actually pop a bottle with the gals because yeah, I'm doing good! More of my interview and feature in my stories or via my website 🙂🌳🐾

If you're sick of peace lilies and fiddle leaf figs, this is the feed to find an indoor plant that is nice, different and unusual.

Current situation on the shelf in the playroom. I yammer on about having to move all the plants into the jungle room for winter, because we live in one of those houses built on a concrete slab with heater vents in the ceiling, directly above the windows (not designed with indoor plants in mind). So anything that lives out here in the wild with us needs to be tough, tough, tough. Current line-up is #dioscoreaelephantipes, dried #billybuttons, #peperomiaobtusifolia, #rhipsaliscereuscula and #ficusalii. Also featuring some of my fave pots and Finn's fave Italian race car. .
