How to water my plant?

While watering your plant, make sure to water all around the plant and not just add water in one spot.

How to best care for my plant?

  • Make sure to put your plant in the correct lighting
  • Make sure to water your plant as needed
  • When your plant gets dusty, gently wipe down the leaves and remove the dust

How can I tell if my plant is struggling?

Here are some things to lookout for:

  • Yellowing or dropping leaves
  • Leaf spots appear brown with a yellow halo
  • Brown or yellow spots or brown edges on leaves
  • Leaves are curling in
  • Droopiness or wilting
  • White spots or web are showing on a plant
  • Loss of leaf color
  • Weak growth

Why are the leaves turning yellow?

This can be happening for a few reasons;

  • Plant is under stress due to environmental changes or while coping with an acclimation period to its new home
  • Some older leaves might turn yellow and shed. Usually, it happens to the lower leaves
  • Over-watering.
    It is important to provide enough time for the soil to dry to some degree, and always test the soil before adding water
  • Under-watering.
    If you have not watered your plant for a while and soil feels too dry, give your plant a good drink and make sure to test the soil at least once every 2 weeks.
  • Nutrient deficiency

Why are leaves rotting?

Rotting leaves are a definite sign of over-watering.

  • Use a pencil or stick to fluff up the soil to allow oxygen to get through and to help soil dry out faster
  • Give your plant a “dessert treatment”, as we call longer than usual breaks between watering, to allow soil to dry
  • Lower watering frequency for the future or/and use less amount of water for each watering
  • Always check soil before watering plants

How to decide which plant to buy? 

  • Look at how much light your plant will receive in your home or office
  • Decide on the size of the plant you are looking for
  • Does your schedule take you away from your plants for an extended time? 
  • Are there any hot or cold draught where the plants will be?
