< 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

Discard any excess water to discourage root rot. Pet-Safe: Phalaenopsis orchids are non-toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Previous Next

< Back Sansevieria Light: Your Snake Plant can tolerate any light level. The brighter the light, the faster it will grow.

It’s better to err on the dry side. Water thoroughly to encourage a healthy root system and discard any excess water in the saucer. Pet-Safe: Snake Plants are toxic to humans and pets if ingested.

< Back Anthurium Light: Your Anthurium prefers bright indirect light. Direct sun may burn the leaves. The more light the plant receives, the more blooms your plant will produce. Water: Water your Anthurium 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. Overwatering causes yellow leaf tips and underwatering causes brown leaf tips. Pet-Safe: This plant is considered toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Previous Next

< Back Calathea Light: Your Calathea prefers medium to bright indirect light—so placing it in front of an east, west, or north window is ideal. Direct sun burns the leaves and causes the beautiful leaf colors to fade. Water: Water your Calathea when the top 25% of 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
