Welcome to Your Plant’s Next Chapter

Start Here First

When your plant arrives home:

• Remove all packaging and cotton immediately
• Check moisture before watering
• If dry, water lightly
• Place in bright, indirect light
• Allow time to acclimate before repotting

Do not rush to “fix” anything.
Your plant just experienced a full environment change.

​

Understanding Your Setup

Not all plants are grown the same way.
Your plant may arrive in one of the following setups:

​

Moss or Moss Based Medium

Used to support humidity and reduce weight during shipping.
This is not a long term growing medium.

Once acclimated, transition into a chunky mix for best results.

​

Stratum or Semi Hydro Setup

This is a passive hydro system designed for steady hydration.

Care basics:
• Keep water in the bottom reservoir
• Roots grow toward moisture over time
• Do not let the plant sit fully submerged

Best for consistent moisture without overwatering.

​

Chunky Soilless Mix (Wander Blend)

Designed for airflow, drainage, and strong root systems.

Care basics:
• Water thoroughly until runoff
• Let the mix dry down before watering again
• Never keep the mix constantly wet

If it feels heavy, it does not need water.

​

Chunky Soil Mix

Used for more established plants.

Care basics:
• Water until runoff
• Let the pot become lighter before watering again
• Do not water on a schedule

Surface dryness does not mean the roots are dry.

​

Light

Bright, indirect light is best.

• Near a window is ideal
• Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun
• Lower light is tolerated but slows growth

Better light equals stronger growth and better color.

​

Water

Overwatering is the most common issue.

Before watering:
• Check the weight of the pot
• Check moisture below the surface

General rule:
If you are unsure, wait.

Roots need oxygen as much as they need water.

​

Humidity

Most tropical plants prefer moderate to high humidity.

• Ideal range is above 50 percent
• Higher humidity supports larger leaves and healthier growth

That said, many will adapt to normal home conditions over time.

​

Temperature

• Ideal range is 65 to 85 degrees
• Avoid cold drafts
• Avoid temperatures below 60 degrees

Sudden temperature drops can cause stress and leaf damage.

​

Fertilizing

During active growth:

• Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2 to 4 weeks
• Dilute to half strength

Do not fertilize stressed or newly acclimating plants.

​

What to Expect

Environmental changes can cause:

• Minor drooping
• Yellowing leaves
• Slower growth

This is normal.

Your plant is adjusting to a new environment.
Give it time before making changes.

​

Repotting

Do not repot immediately unless necessary.

Signs it may be ready:
• Roots circling heavily
• Medium breaking down
• Plant outgrowing its container

When repotting:
Use a chunky, well draining mix that allows airflow.

​

Pet and Child Safety

Many tropical plants, including Alocasia and Philodendron, can be toxic if ingested.

Keep plants out of reach of pets and children.
Research specific plant toxicity if needed.

​

Important Information

All plants are sold in healthy condition at the time of sale.

Once a plant leaves our care, environmental factors are outside of our control.

The buyer is responsible for:
• Understanding basic plant care
• Providing an appropriate environment
• Monitoring plant health after transfer

Because of this:

All sales are final.
No refunds or replacements will be issued for decline after purchase.

​

Final Note

Every plant is different.
Every home is different.

The more you observe, the better you will get.

Trust the process. Trust the roots.

And if you take care of it, it will take care of you.
