- CARE GUIDE
-
All of our indoor plants are thoughtfully selected for their easy-to-care-for nature.
You’ll find specific care instructions below, but don’t worry - whether you’re treating yourself or sending a gift, we’ll include simple care instructions with your order to help your plant thrive.
CARE LEVEL
Moderate – enjoys consistent care and rewards attention with vibrant, patterned foliage.
LIGHT
Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch delicate leaves, while low light may cause colours to fade. A warm, filtered-light position is perfect.
WATER
Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top layer of soil feels slightly dry. Fittonias are sensitive to chemicals, so filtered or rainwater is best.
HUMIDITY
Loves high humidity. Regular misting, a pebble tray, or a humidifier will keep leaves lush and prevent wilting. Dry air can cause dramatic drooping.
FEEDING
Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer using a diluted liquid houseplant fertiliser. No feeding needed in autumn and winter.
LEAF CARE
Gently wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain their bold vein patterns.
PET FRIENDLY?
Yes! Completely non-toxic and safe for pets and children.
EXTRA TIPS
Wilting suddenly? Usually thirsty – it will perk up quickly after watering | Great for terrariums due to its love of humidity | Pinch back stems to encourage bushier growth | Rotate occasionally for even light exposure.
- WHEN AND HOW TO RE-POT
- Your Hello Botanical plant gift can happily remain in the plastic gardener’s pot and our hessian pot cover for 2-3 months or more. Indoor plants do best if they are left in the plastic gardener's pot for at least a few months. When it is time to re-pot, it's best to re-pot up (into a slightly larger pot) to promote continued growth. You may like to add-on a Mr Kitly selfwatering pot to your plant gift (size 170mm for our small plants, size 250mm for our large plants). We provide individualised advice on how and when to re-pot, per plant, per recipient. We include an information leaflet with your gift, and are available by email or DM anytime for further advice.
- IMPORTANT DELIVERY INFO
- The plant gift delivery fee ranges between $15 and $40. For indoor plant deliveries, we exclusively use premium door to door courier services and only deliver locally (Melbourne and Geelong), to ensure their healthy and fast arrival.
