Succulent Garden
LIGHT & TEMPERATURE
One common mistake is to place your succulents in direct sunlight and overexpose them to the sunlight. We recommend you place your garden in indirect, natural light.
WATERING
Your succulent garden needs to be watered every 7-10 days. Using the plastic dropper included in each garden, water each plant close to the stem with 2 - 4 full droppers. To fill your dropper, simply put some water in a small container and squeeze the top of the dropper. The water will sink through the pebbles and straight down to their roots, there is no need to remove the pebbles.
ADDITIONAL CARE
The succulentβs box is designed to serve as a planter, so the plants do not need to be removed until they outgrow the box. After a few months, when you notice that your succulents have grown out of the box, itβs time to transfer them to a pot with a drainage system. To remove the plants from the box, simply soak the pebbles in water for 5-10 minutes until the pebbles are loose and can be easily removed. The proper soil to use would be a succulent or cactus mix (can be found at your local nursery). Shop Succulent Gardens here.
Anthurium
LIGHT
Anthuriums require bright but indirect sunlight to grow and thrive. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light will cause poor growth and a lack of flowers.
WATER & TEMP
The soil should be kept slightly moist and never allowed to dry out completely, but avoid overwatering. Maintain a cozy 65-80Β°F (18-27Β°C) range. Embrace high humidity for lush growth.
ADDITIONAL CARE
Trim to remove dead leaves and spent flowers. Repot only when roots are crowded. Shop Anthurium Plant here.
Marginata
LIGHT
Though they can thrive in a variety of light conditions, they do best with indirect bright light.
WATER & TEMP
One benefit of this plant is that they are pretty drought-tolerant. Keep soil moderately moist; avoid overwatering. Ideal at 65-80Β°F (18-27Β°C). As far as humidity, these plants really arenβt fussy and there is no need to increase humidity.
ADDITIONAL CARE
Trim to maintain shape and remove dead leaves. Repot when roots outgrow the current container. Shop Marginata Plant here.
Neanthe Bella
LIGHT
Neanthe Bella, also known as Parlor Palm, does best in bright, filtered sunlight.
WATER & TEMP
Keep soil evenly moist, not soggy. Yellow fronds on your Parlor Palm is usually an indication that your plant needs more water. The Parlor Palm prefers room temperatures at 65-80Β°F (18-27Β°C) Keep it away from cold drafts for best care results. Thrives in average indoor humidity.
ADDITIONAL CARE
Trim for a neat appearance and to remove yellowed fronds, but do not prune the parlor palm since this will stop its growth. Repot when the plant outgrows its current pot. Shop Neanthe Bella Plant here.
Peace Lily
LIGHT
Although Peace Lilies are used to shady circumstances in their native habitats, the indoor plant will flourish in low to bright, indirect light.

ADDITIONAL CARE

Bromeliad
LIGHT
Your Bromeliad enjoys bright, indirect light but avoid direct sun since it can scorch the leaves. Bromeliads that turn yellowish might be getting too much light, while dark green or elongated plants might receive too little light.

WATER & TEMP
These plants are highly drought-tolerant and can handle infrequent watering. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings; less is more. Avoid placing your plant in a location close to drafts or particularly cold areas of your home. Comfortable at 65-80Β°F (18-27Β°C). Tolerates low humidity; no fuss required.

Money Trees can thrive indoors or outside with moderate sunlight. Place your Money Tree in indirect light for at least six hours a day. Rotate your plant periodically to keep leaves growing evenly.

Water your Money Tree with two ice cubes once every 1-2 weeks. Your plant should be watered often and regularly. Always check the soil moisture before watering.
ADDITIONAL CARE
Signs of overwatering include mushy stems and root rot. Pruning a Money Tree is useful for maintaining a reasonable size and an attractive shape. At any time of year, trim off dead, browning leaves and any dead branches to keep up appearances. Shop Money Tree here.
Aglaonema Pink
LIGHT
Aglaonema Wishes, like many other Aglaonema varieties, prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but will thrive and exhibit better growth with brighter light. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves.
WATER & TEMP
Aglaonema Wishes generally prefers slightly moist soil but is quite tolerant of occasional drying out between waterings.
ADDITIONAL CARE
Remove any yellow, damaged, or dead leaves as needed to maintain the plant's appearance and health. You can also prune to control its size and shape.
Kalanchoe
LIGHT
Your indoor Kalanchoe plants will do do best with bright, indirect light. Leggy stems could be a sign that the plant isn't receiving enough light.
WATER & TEMP
Allow your Kalanchoe plant to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. This succulent does best with minimal water, soak it every few weeks or less.
ADDITIONAL CARE
Most of the time, problems with Kalanchoe are due to over or under watering. Your Kalanchoe should never be exposed to temperatures below 50ΒΊF, because this can damage leaves. Keep sunlight indirect so their leaves don't scorch, and if their stems are soft, cut back on water.
