- 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
Easy to care for once settled but prefers consistent conditions. Best suited to plant lovers who can provide bright light and regular watering.LIGHT
Thrives in bright, indirect light. A little gentle morning sun is fine, but avoid hot afternoon sun which can scorch the delicate leaves. Too little light can cause leggy growth and leaf drop.WATER
Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this can cause leaves to drop. Reduce watering slightly in winter.HUMIDITY
Prefers moderate to higher humidity but adapts well to average indoor conditions. If your home is very dry, placing the plant near other plants or using a pebble tray can help.FEEDING
Feed once a month during spring and summer with a balanced liquid indoor plant fertiliser. No feeding is needed during autumn and winter.LEAF CARE
Dust the leaves regularly with a soft cloth to keep them looking glossy and help the plant photosynthesise efficiently. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to encourage healthy new growth.PET FRIENDLY?
Generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, but it's still best to discourage pets from chewing the foliage as it may cause mild stomach upset.EXTRA TIPS
- Dropping leaves? Usually caused by sudden changes in light, temperature or watering.
- Yellow leaves? Often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage.
- Leggy growth? Move to a brighter spot and rotate the pot regularly for even growth.
- China
Doll plants dislike being moved frequently, so once you find a spot they
love, leave them there for the best results.
- 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.
