Plant Care

Congrats on adopting a new plant baby! We are sharing the basics of plant care for our most popular varieties here, so you are equipped to help your new baby thrive. Remember, care requirements are dependent on things like a particular plant's environment (Is it near a heat source, or next to a cold window? How much light does it get?), so use these plant care tips as guidelines and always seek additional resources for troubleshooting and for deeper information about your particular variety.

Also note, each type of plant will include information about toxicity to pets, but remember - even "pet safe" plants should not be consumed and may result in negative effects if ingested. Please consult your veterinarian for definitive answers, especially if your animal is inclined to munch on your houseplants!
