Plant Care Guides

Everything you need to keep your plants happy — from watering basics to advanced tropical care. Written by our nursery team with love.

Push your finger 2 inches into the soil. If it feels dry, water. If damp, wait. Simple and reliable every time.

Give your plant a quarter turn each week so all sides get equal light and it grows evenly upright.

Dusty leaves can't absorb light efficiently. Wipe them gently with a damp cloth once a month.

Repot, fertilize, and propagate in spring when plants are waking up and ready to grow.
