- 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-going and hardy – ideal for beginners and busy plant lovers alike!LIGHT
Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its creamy variegation. Too little light and it may lose its distinctive colour – avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.WATER
Water when the top few centimetres of soil are dry. Water deeply and allow excess to drain. Reduce watering in cooler months and avoid letting it sit in water.HUMIDITY
Happy in average home humidity but thrives with a little extra moisture. A light mist now and then or a nearby humidifier is a bonus.FEEDING
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. No feeding needed in autumn and winter.LEAF CARE
Wipe gently with a damp cloth to keep those variegated leaves clean, healthy, and vibrant.PET FRIENDLY?
Not pet safe. Keep away from curious pets – the sap can cause irritation if ingested.EXTRA TIPS
Leaves turning green? It might need more light to maintain its variegation | Rotate the plant occasionally for even growth | Loves stability – avoid cold drafts and sudden changes in environment. - 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 3-6 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.
