< Back Hibiscus (Tropical) Plant Care Tips & Tricks Add a splash of tropical colour to your garden or home with our vibrant hibiscus plants. Renowned for their large, showy blooms in a variety of stunning colours, hibiscus plants are perfect for creating an eye-catching focal point. These versatile plants thrive in warm, sunny environments, making them ideal for outdoor gardens, patios, or even as a striking indoor specimen. With their lush, green foliage and continuous blooming season, hibiscus brings a touch of paradise to any space, attracting pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies. Tropical hibiscus will need to come indoors for the fall, winter and spring months. Our winters are too harsh for this plant. Lighting: High-light plants require full sunlight to assume their full potential, which means they need at least 6 hours of direct, bright light a day. Irrigation: During blooming stages be sure to keep the soil evenly moist. Cut back on water frequency during Autumn, Winter, and Spring when it is indoors. Fertilizer: Feed every two weeks in the spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer. Follow package instructions. Previous Next

< Back Peperomia Plant Care Tips & Tricks Peperomia plants have ornamental foliage that grows in a variety of colours and leaf patterns. Often mistaken as succulents, these plants are indeed tropicals; however, their thick, waxy leaves do contribute towards their drought tolerance and simple care requirements. Varieties: Watermelon, Obtusifolia, Ginny, Hope, Ripple, Rosso, San Marino, Raisinette, Nivalis "Taco Leaf", Red Luna, Abricos, Gray Luna Lighting: This care will vary depending on the variety. Many peperomia varieties will tolerate low to medium, indirect sunlight; however, they will grow best in indirect, bright light. Irrigation: Allow about 50%-75% of the soil to dry between thorough irrigations. Water until liquid runs from drainage holes at the bottom of the pot and discard excess water. Do not allow your plant to sit in standing water as it will lead to root rot. Humidity: This will vary depending on the variety. Most peperomia cultivars will adjust to average household humidity but will appreciate a boost in humidity through the use of a humidifier, pebble tray, or occasional misting. Fertilizer: Feed once a month during the summer using a balanced fertilizer. Follow package recommendations. Previous Next
