< Back Ficus Light: Place your Ficus in bright indirect or filtered light. Avoid bright direct light as it will burn the leaves and cause them to drop. Water: Water with room-temperature water once the soil dries 50-75% down. Water thoroughly until water flows into the saucer, then pour out any excess. Pet-Safe: Ficus leaves are mildly toxic to pets and humans. Typically, ingestion will cause mouth and stomach irritation with possible vomiting. Previous Next

< Back Fern Light: Your fern will do best in medium to low light. The more light it receives, the more the leaves will crinkle and the less light, the flatter the leaves will be. Keep in mind, too much light or extended periods of direct sunlight will cause the fronds on the fern to get a pale bleached color. Water: Water when the top 25% of the soil is dry. When watering, water only the soil – not the leaves. Water accumulating in the crown of your plant could lead to bacterial growth and potential leaf rot. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer. Pet-Safe: Ferns are non-poisonous plants and safe for humans, dogs and cats. Previous Next

< Back Bromeliad Light: Your Bromeliad prefers indirect bright light like from a sunny eastern window. Too little light and the plant will not produce new pups and flowers, but too much light will burn the leaves. Water: Bromeliads are unique in that you water the center of the plant instead of the soil. Keep the center of the plant filled with water at all times – up to halfway. Every few weeks, empty any water, rinse and fill with fresh water. This helps prevent salt and mineral buildup. Only water the soil when it is 100% dry. When watering the soil, water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer. Pet-Safe: Your Bromeliad is non-toxic and pet friendly. The leaves can cause contact dermatitis in some individuals, so consider wearing gloves when handling the plant. Previous Next

< Back Carnivorous Venus Fly Trap Light: Your Venus Fly Trap prefers direct or very bright indirect light. It will not tolerate low light. Water: Water when 25% of the soil volume is dry. Water slowly, allowing it to soak into the soil until it drips out of the drainage hole. Discard any excess water that accumulates in the saucer. Pet-Safe: This plant is considered non-toxic and pet-friendly. Previous Next

< Back Aglaonema Light: Your Aglaonema prefers indirect bright light. It can adapt to low light, but the growth will slow considerably. Direct morning sunlight is fine for this plant, but avoid direct afternoon sunlight which can burn the leaves. If you don’t have an ideal location for your Aglaonema, use a Grow Light. In low light, its color and variegation will not be as pronounced. Water: Water your Aglaonema when 50% of the soil volume is dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer. Pet-Safe: The Aglaonema is moderately toxic to pets and humans. Typically, ingestion will cause mouth and stomach irritation and possible vomiting. Previous Next

< Back Prayer Plant Light: Your Prayer Plant prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sun can cause the leaves to fade and scorch. Water: Water when the soil volume is 25% dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole and discard any that accumulates in the saucer. Pet-Safe: This plant is considered non-toxic and pet-friendly. Previous Next

< Back Poinsettia Light: Poinsettias love bright but indirect sunlight. An eastern window is ideal, or a few feet back from a southern or western window. Watch out for pale bleached leaves as this is a sign your plant is getting too much direct sun. Water: You should water your poinsettia when the top 50% of soil is dry. Water slowly until you see water begin to trickle out of the pot’s drainage hole, and make sure you let excess water fully drain out. Discard any excess water after a few minutes. Pet-Safe: Toxic only if ingested in very high amounts to pets and humans. The sap can be irritating to the mouth and stomach if ingested, sometimes causing vomiting. The sap may also cause a very mild allergic skin reaction in some people. Previous Next

< Back Olive Tree Light: Your olive tree prefers direct sunlight. Place your plant in a full sun location that receives 6+ hours of direct sunlight per day. Water: Water when 25% of the soil volume is dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot. Do not use a saucer outdoors or allow the plant to sit in standing water. Pet-Safe: Your olive tree is considered nontoxic and pet-friendly. Previous Next
