plant care made simple
Air Plant (Tillandsia)
Air plants enjoy a weekly dunk. Allow them to soak for 10-20 minutes before shaking them out and putting them back on display. Air plants do best with indirect light, and can tolerate low light very well.
You may opt to mist them instead of dunking them. If you do, we recommend misting thoroughly 2-3 times per week.

Cacti
Cacti do best with infrequent but thorough watering about every 3-4 weeks, and bright direct sunlight. These plants are prone to overwatering, so try to think of the desert when thinking of their care! It doesn’t rain often in the desert- but when it does, it pours! If your succulent begins to look tall and lanky, it is reaching for more sunlight. Try a sunnier window, or consider adding a grow light to supplement.
Most cacti species are non-toxic, but should be kept away from pets and kids for more prickly reasons.

Hoyas (wax plants)
Hoyas tolerate a variety of lighting conditions. With more light, the plants use up more water. Bright light will make them grow more quickly and colorfully, whereas low light will slow their growth. Water about every 10-14 days, or sooner if you notice your plants leaves are getting wrinkled or flimsy. If you give them something to climb on, their leaves will grow bigger!

Lucky Bamboo (dracaena Sanderiana)
Lucky Bamboo is a wonderful low-light plant as it does not tolerate bright direct light very well, and prefers low or filtered light! Since the bamboo I sell is situated hydroponically, just keep the water level in line with the top of the substrate and your plant will be happy!

purple passion vine
Purple Passion Vines grows best in bright indirect light. If direct sun is a must, they prefer cool morning sun over hot afternoon sun as their leaves are prone to burning in hot sun. Keep this plant moist by watering about once a week. For best results, try to keep water off of the leaves. The little hairs on these fuzzy beauts can trap water and make the plant more prone to sickness.

Snake Plants (sanseveria/dracaena)
Snake plants are all but indestructible. They are tolerant of all lighting conditions, so their watering schedule should be based around the amount of light they are getting. Plants receiving low to medium light will likely only need water every 3-4 weeks to maintain their health. Plants receiving high direct light will require more water to avoid burns, plan for every 2 weeks.

venus flytraps
Venus flytraps are easy to care for, once you iron out the little details! Moisture is important to them, but they can be picky about the type of water they receive. Tap water is too mineral-rich for them and will burn their roots, they prefer distilled, reverse osmosis, or rain water. Bright light will keep them looking and feeling their best.
For best results, my Venus Flytraps live in a tray of reverse osmosis water directly under my grow lights.
Venus Flytraps are non-toxic to pets and kids. Unless your pet is a bug. :)
