Choosing A Plant

How do I start choosing which plant to buy?

We recommend to read our helpful guides to help you to choose the right plant for your home or office:

What is the difference between bright, medium and low light plants?

Bright light plants will do well in direct or strong sunlight for the
most part of a day usually succulent cactus and strong trees come in this
category.

Medium light plants should stay out of the direct sunlight. They should
be placed in a bright room and will enjoy partial or filtered sunlight mostly
bromeliad and hardy orchids some ficus and few indoor plants come in this
category. 

Low light plants prefer to stay in the shade or to be displayed under
fluorescent light usually indoor plants , soft ferns falls in this category.

ZZ plant, Aglaonema. These plants will survive in very well lit with the
fluorescent light space. The light must be on for at least 5-6 hours a
day. 

Our office building turns ac/heat and lights off during after hours, weekends and holidays. Which plants can survive in this environment?

Sansevieria, Pothos, ZZ, Aglaonema and syngonium can deal better than
other plants with some environment challenges.

We strongly recommend moving plants that are displayed in a room with
artificial light only close to a window when office is closed for weekends and
holidays.

Avoid placing plants under direct sun, especially during hot summer
days, to avoid leaf burning.

certain areas then it is too dark for any plant as well.

I have a lot of sun in my space. Which plants should i choose?

All species of Palm, Creeper flowering plant like Allamanda, bleeding
heart, Plumeria, Garlic vines, Bird of Paradise, Jade plant, gardenia and
Hibiscus do well.

Care

Do I really need the soil moisture meter?

No you can just check plant health by leaves color.

Do you offer any care tips for plants?

With a plant of your choice, you can see specific plant care tips and
trick on website product page.

You can always reach out to our customer service at whatsapp if you have
any questions or concerns.

NOTE: Care tips are just the guidelines, and every
plant will behave differently depending on air flow, light, humidity, and
temperatures in a space so please go through detailed care guide on product
description.

Should I mist my plants? Which plants like to have leaves misted?

Plants like Bird of Paradise, Philodendron, Fern, pothos, orchids, will
enjoy if you mist their leaves often.

Plants like Snake, ZZ, and Jade prefer not to be misted.

AC will remove moisture from the air as well but not as much. Mist your
humidity loving plants at least few times a week during the warm season.

What fertilizer do you recommend for indoor plants?

Most plants need to be fertilized during Spring time - March, April and
May.

The fertilizer we use is slow release fertilizer which work for a year
so you do not need to add any fertilizer for next one year. After that you can
use generic NPK fertilizer with mix ratio as 10:10:10 or if you don’t want to
add chemical you can use cow dung manure for your plants. Keep adding manure
every 3 month.

Troubleshooting

How can I tell if a plant is struggling?

  • Here are some general signs of a problem:
  • yellowing or dropping leaves;
  • leaf spots appear brown with a yellow halo;
  • brown or yellow spots or brown edges on leaves;
  • leaves are curling in;
  • droopiness or wilting;
  • white spots or web are showing on a plant;
  • loss of leaf color;
  • weak growth.

Where those bugs come from?

Cut Flowers: Cut flowers, whether from
the store or the garden, are another possible carrier of houseplant bugs like
aphids, spider mites, and mealybugs.

Fruits and Vegetables: Whether from the grocery
store or the backyard garden, fresh produce can carry all types of
houseplant bugs.

Other Bugs: It sounds crazy, but bugs
like ants are known to bring sap-sucking pests like aphids, scale, and
mealybugs to a houseplant.

Other Plants: Mealybugs can come from
any other plants that are nearby or plants that are anywhere in a building as
they are can get around via air vents.

Doors, Air vents, and Windows: Houseplant
insect pests, like soil gnats and spider mites, can easily come even through
the screens of open windows/doors (especially during warm seasons) or from
anywhere in the building through an air vent. 

Soil: If a plant had gnat's eggs in the soil (which
are invisible to the human eye) you will notice an issue very early, within
first few days, as these guys spread super fast.  

What are the little dark flies swarming over the pots of my plants?

They are probably fungus gnats. They are not very harmful to plants but
very annoying to us:)

These guys can come from anywhere - air vents, drain pipes, etc. They
find nice warm and moist environment to lay their eggs in. Frequent or
excessive watering encourages their development. You can usually get rid of
them by reducing the frequency of watering and allowing the soil to dry more
between watering.

Why are leaves turning yellow?

 This can be happening for a few reasons.

Plant is under stress due to environmental changes or while coping
with an acclimation period to its new home.

Some older leaves might turn yellow and shed. Usually, it happens
to the lower leaves.

Over- watering. It is important to provide enough time for the soil
to dry to some degree, and always test the soil before adding water.

Under-watering. If you have not watered your plant for a while and
soil feels too dry, give your plant a good drink and make sure to test the
soil at least once every 2 weeks.

Nutrient deficiency.

Why are leaves rotting?

Rotting leaves are a definite sign of over-watering and can also be the
sign of root rot.

Use a pencil or stick to fluff up the soil to allow oxygen get through
and to help soil to dry out faster.

Give your plant a “dessert treatment”, as we call longer than usual
breaks between watering, to allow soil to dry. Lower watering frequency for the
future or/and use less amount of water for each watering. Always check soil
before watering plants.
