Tips on plantcare

Here are some general tips for caring for houseplants:

Watering: Each plant has different watering needs, so it's important to understand how much water your particular plant needs. Overwatering can be just as harmful as under-watering. A good rule of thumb is to wait until the top inch of soil is dry before watering.
Light: Different plants require different levels of light. Some plants need direct sunlight, while others do better in partial or full shade. Ask our friendly staff about your plant's specific lighting needs and place it accordingly.
Humidity: Most houseplants come from tropical regions and prefer high humidity. If your home is dry, consider using a humidifier or placing a tray of water near your plants to increase the humidity.
Soil: Quality soil is important for houseplants to thrive. Use a well-draining potting mix that is appropriate for your plant's needs.
Fertilizer: Most houseplants benefit from regular fertilization. Be sure to use a fertilizer appropriate for your plant's specific needs. You can always ask our staff for advice.
Pruning: Prune your plants as needed to encourage new growth and maintain their shape.

Remember that every plant is unique, so be sure to do research on the specific needs of each plant you bring into your home. If you're unsure about how to care for a particular plant, don't hesitate to ask our staff for advice.

Gift a plant!

Looking for the perfect gift for someone who loves to spruce up their home? Look no further than houseplants! Not only do they add life and color to any space, but they also offer numerous health benefits, including improved air quality and reduced stress levels.

When it comes to selecting the right houseplant gift, consider the recipient's lifestyle and the conditions of their home. Some houseplants require more sunlight and care than others, so it's important to choose a plant that fits their level of experience and the amount of attention they can give.

Succulents and cacti are great options for low-maintenance plant lovers who may not have a lot of experience yet. These plants are excellent at storing water, making them very forgiving if they go a little too long between watering.

For those who want a more hands-on experience, consider gifting a propagation kit. It's a fun and rewarding way to grow a collection of plants, and it's an excellent activity for those who love to learn and experiment.

If you're looking for something more decorative, consider wall art or an unique mirror. These items can add a touch of boho style to any space and make for great accent pieces in living rooms, bedrooms, or even kitchens.
