Top Tip
To keep the plants in the Unique Foliage House Plant Bundle thriving, wipe their leaves regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve light absorption. Rotate each plant weekly to promote even growth. For a healthy environment, consider grouping the plants together to maintain higher humidity levels or using a pebble tray with water to add moisture to the air.
How to Water
Water each plant in the Unique Foliage Bundle based on its individual needs. Generally, allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out before watering, ensuring the soil is moist but not soggy. Use room-temperature water and avoid letting the pots sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot. During the dormant season (autumn and winter), reduce watering frequency, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
How to Plant
To plant the Unique Foliage House Plant Bundle, select containers with good drainage and fill them with a well-draining potting mix, ideally suited for indoor plants. Gently remove each plant from its nursery pot, loosen the roots, and place it in a slightly larger pot. Ensure each plant is positioned at the same depth as in its original container. Backfill with soil, firm lightly, and water thoroughly. Position the pots in a bright spot with indirect sunlight, ensuring a stable, warm environment for optimal growth.
