Practical Guidance for Every Plant Parent

Group Plants With Similar Needs

Place plants with similar light and water requirements together. This makes care easier and reduces the chance of over- or under-watering.

Match Your Plant to the Light

Don’t force a sun-loving plant into a dark corner or a shade-lover into harsh light. Observe where sunlight falls in your space throughout the day.

Water Deeply but Less Often

Instead of frequent light watering, soak the soil thoroughly. This encourages roots to grow deeper, making your plant stronger.

Prune Dead or Yellowing Leaves

Removing damaged foliage keeps your plant looking tidy and redirects energy to healthy growth.

Turn Your Pots Regularly

Rotating your plant every week or two ensures all sides get equal light, which helps maintain even growth.

Feed With Care

Turn Your Pots Regularly

Use a gentle, balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Always follow label instructions — too much can burn the roots.

Give Them a Gentle Clean

Turn Your Pots Regularly

Give Them a Gentle Clean

Wipe leaves with a damp cloth or give them a soft shower. Clean leaves breathe and photosynthesize better.
