General Care Tips

All plants need sunlight, however most plants require indirect sunlight.

Ensure that your plant is sufficiently watered, please refer to each individual plant care guide for specific water levels and ensure to never over water.

Keep your plant at its optimum temperature, most houseplants prefer a temperature between 18-21 degrees Celsius. Ensure to keep your plant away from draughts and extreme temperatures, (e.g near a heat source) to allow them to thrive for as long as possible.

If any flowers/leaves are dying or dead, be sure to remove them to allow the rest of the plant to continue thriving.

Remove any damaged or dying leaves to prevent disease settling in and harming your plant.

A good tip to remove dust from your plants leaves, without harming it is by using cotton wool and water to gently remove the dust.
