< Back Philodendron Heartleaf Light: The Philodendron Heartleaf can cope with low light conditions, but grows faster and produces more leaves bright indirect light. Do not put it in direct sunlight–the sun will burn the foliage. Water: Water your Philodendron when the top 50%-75% of the soil 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: Philodendron leaves are toxic to pets and humans. Typically, ingestion will result in swelling of the lips and tongue, and stomach irritation with possible vomiting. Previous Next

< Back Pothos Light: Your Pothos prefers indirect bright light. It can tolerate lower light, but growth will slow and the colors may fade. Direct light can scorch the leaves. Water: Water when 50-75% 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: Your Pothos is considered toxic to humans and pets if ingested. Previous Next

< Back African Violet Light: Your African violet loves bright indirect sunlight. Try and place it somewhere that gets loads of daylight, but not somewhere the sun is directly beating down on it. Near an eastern window or a few feet back from a southern window are ideal spots for this plant. Yellowing leaves and a lack of blooms can mean not enough light, while sunburnt, bleached leaves point to too much light. If you are worried you do not have a spot with enough light, try a Grow Light. Water: Water when the soil volume is 25% dry. This plant likes to be kept moist but does not like to sit in soggy soil. Avoid getting the leaves wet, and the bottom-watering method is recommended. Place your plant in a sink filled with 2-4″ of water. Leave the plant to soak for up to 45 minutes. Test the top of the soil for moisture. If it still feels dry water a little from the top. When your plant’s soil is evenly damp, drain the sink/tub and allow the plant to rest while it drains thoroughly. Pet-Safe: Both the flowers and the leaves of an African violet are non-toxic to cats and dogs. 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 Dieffenbachia Light: Your Dieffenbachia will do best in bright, indirect light. It can also tolerate lower light environments, though growth will slow. Avoid direct sunlight which can burn the leaves. Water: Water your Dieffenbachia when the soil volume is 50-75% dry. Water thoroughly until it drips out the bottom of the pot, and remove excess water that accumulates in the saucer. Pet-Safe: Dieffenbachia are considered to be toxic to pets and humans if ingested.

< Back Schefflera Light: Your Schefflera prefers bright indirect light. It can also tolerate medium and low light, but growth will slow. Direct sun in the early morning and late afternoon is fine, but avoid exposure to the harsh midday sun which can scorch the leaves. Water: Water when 75% of the soil volume is dry. Water slowly, allowing it to soak into the soil, until it flows freely through the drainage hole. Discard any excess water that accumulates in the saucer. Pet-Safe: This plant is considered toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Previous Next

< Back Euphorbia Light: Your euphorbia needs bright direct light. This means a spot that gets 6 plus hours of direct sun per day. Water: Water your euphorbia when the soil volume is 100% dry. Water thoroughly until it flows out of the drainage hole. Discard excess water to discourage root rot. Pet-Safe: The euphorbias are toxic to humans and pets. Previous Next

< Back Dracaena Light: Your Dracaena prefers bright indirect light but can survive in low light. Leaves with less variegation, slow growth, and small new leaves indicate it is not getting enough light. Water: Overwatering causes root rot and is the main reason a dracaena plant dies. Water your plant thoroughly and allow the top 75% of the soil to dry before watering again. In low light, allow the soil to dry completely before watering. Water your plant less in the winter, when light levels are lower and growth has slowed. Pet-Safe: Dracaena leaves are toxic to pets and humans. Typically, ingestion will cause mouth and stomach irritation with 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 Fiddle Leaf Fig Light: Keep your fiddle leaf fig in bright indirect light. This plant will not tolerate low light and its leaves will eventually yellow and drop. Close to an eastern window or acclimated to the direct light from a southern window is ideal. Water: Water when 50-75% of the soil volume is dry. Always water thoroughly until it flows out of the drainage hole to encourage a healthy root system. Discard any excess water in the saucer. Pet-Safe: Fiddle leaf figs are toxic to humans and pets if ingested. Previous Next
