< Back Prayer Plant Plant Care Tips & Tricks The Prayer Plant flaunts a striking display of patterned foliage. Its name originated from the fact that the unique-looking leaves remain flat during the day but fold up, resembling praying hands, at night. The decorative foliage is usually tri-coloured, featuring deep green, velvet-like sheets with red veins and yellow splotches along the center. Varieties: Rabbit Tracks, Herringbone Lighting: This plant requires indirect, bright light in order to maintain its beautiful colouring. Irrigation: Allow the soil to slightly 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: Prayer plants prefer environments with higher moisture levels. You can add humidity around your plant by using a mister, pebble tray, or humidifier. Fertilizer: Feed once a month during the summer using a balanced fertilizer. Follow package recommendations.

< Back Hen's and Chicks Plant Care Tips & Tricks Hens and chicks are succulent plants, part of the Sempervivum group. They get their name because of their habit of propagating new baby plants. Hens & Chicks are incredibly easy-to-grow plants with a tolerance for poor soil and unwelcoming conditions. They are a winter-hardy perennial which means you can pant them in the ground and they will come back each Spring. Hens and Chicks come in a variety of textures and colours. Lighting: Sempervivum requires medium to high light and will grow best in sunny spots where it can receive filtered or direct sunlight. It makes the perfect plant for any well-lit room in your house. Irrigation: Allow soil to fully 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 plant does not require added humidity. Previous Next

< 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 Goldfish Plant Plant Care Tips & Tricks Goldfish plants have thick, shiny leaves and vibrant orange flowers that resemble tiny goldfish. As they mature, their trailing stems will cascade down the sides of a pot, creating a pleasing display. Expect most blooms from Summer through Autumn. Lighting: This plant requires a lot of bright sunlight to produce maximum blooms; however, avoid direct sun as it can burn the foliage. Irrigation: Allow the soil to slightly 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. Allowing soil to slightly dry permits oxygen to reach the roots. Humidity: Goldfish plants adapt to lower humidity levels but will appreciate the use of a pebble tray, humidifier, or occasional misting. Fertilizer: Once a month during spring and summer. Use a balanced fertilizer and follow package recommendations. Previous Next
