Light Bright, indirect light
Place near a bright window where it receives plenty of indirect light. A bright kitchen window is often perfect. Avoid harsh direct sun that can stress foliage.
Water Slightly dry between waterings
Let the top portion of soil dry slightly, then water thoroughly and allow excess to drain. Avoid keeping the pot constantly wet.
Humidity Higher humidity can encourage blooms
Average home humidity is typically fine. If your air is very dry, grouping plants or using a humidifier can help support flowering.
Live plants can look a little travel-worn after shipping. A quick reset helps them acclimate and settle in fast.

Live plants are packed with care and ship on a schedule designed to protect plant health in transit. Here’s what our packing process looks like—from soil protection to final presentation—so your plant arrives clean, stable, and ready to enjoy.
We use wood fiber to cover our soil to help prevent soil spillage.
The wood fiber is placed over the soil, right under the foliage.
We then use a plastic bag to cover the planter and wood fiber portion of the plant.
Next we secure it tightly with a zip-tie.
We place the houseplant in a paper bag and secure it with a rubber band.
The paper bag provides a clean presentation and added protection.
