Containers and Transplanting: The Basics
For ease and happiness of the plant, we recommend keeping your plant in the grow pot in which you receive it.
Pruning and trimming: the basics
Selective pruning can actually be very beneficial to your plant--clearing away old leaves, removing diseased leaves, and keeping air circulation moving around and through your plants can keep them happy and healthy.
How to determine proper lighting for my plant?
As a general rule, the more light a plant can get, the happier it will be.
Why are my plant leaves changing color?!
For interior plants, most issues come down to one main culprit: watering. If there are yellow leaves on your plant, check your soil--if it’s wet, or there’s standing water in your saucer, then your plant is getting too much water.
Watering: plant habitats and habits, or, the why behind how we water
Most interior plants originate in tropical parts of the world, where they are used to long dry periods broken up by large, heavy rains. The plants in the tropics have adapted to get as much water as they need in a short window, and then survive for longer amounts of time with drier soil.
