Plant Care Essentials

Expert guidance to help your indoor plants thrive

Light Requirements

Bright Indirect Light

Most tropical plants prefer bright, indirect sunlight. Place plants near east or west-facing windows where they receive filtered light throughout the day. Avoid direct midday sun which can scorch leaves.

Best for: Monstera, Pothos, Philodendron

Medium Light

Moderate light conditions work well for many varieties. These areas receive indirect light for several hours daily. North-facing windows or areas several feet from bright windows provide ideal conditions.

Best for: Peace Lily, ZZ Plant, Aglaonema

Low Light

Some plants adapt well to lower light environments. While growth may be slower, these varieties can thrive in rooms with minimal natural light or artificial lighting only.

Best for: Snake Plant, Pothos, Cast Iron Plant

Watering Guidelines

Check Soil Moisture

Before watering, check soil moisture by inserting your finger 1-2 inches into the soil. Water only when the top layer feels dry to the touch.

Water Thoroughly

When watering, ensure water reaches all roots. Water until it flows from drainage holes, then allow excess to drain completely.

Establish Routine

Create a consistent watering schedule based on your plant's needs and environmental conditions. Adjust frequency with seasonal changes.

Avoid Overwatering

Overwatering is the most common issue. Yellow leaves and soggy soil indicate excess water. Allow soil to dry between waterings.

Environment & Maintenance

Temperature

Most indoor plants prefer temperatures between 65-75°F. Avoid placing plants near heating vents, air conditioners, or drafty windows.

Humidity

Tropical plants benefit from higher humidity. Group plants together, use pebble trays, or consider a humidifier for optimal conditions.

Fertilizing

Feed plants during growing season (spring and summer) with balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. Reduce or stop in fall and winter.

Cleaning Leaves

Regularly wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust. This helps plants photosynthesize more efficiently and stay healthy.
