- 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 – a little attention to light, water, and humidity will keep this beauty thriving.LIGHT
Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch the patterned leaves, while low light may dull the colour. A filtered light spot is ideal.WATER
Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top few centimetres feel dry. Sensitive to chemicals in tap water – use filtered or rainwater if possible.HUMIDITY
Thrives in high humidity. Loves a regular mist, pebble tray, or humidifier. Dry air may cause leaf edges to brown or curl.FEEDING
Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertiliser. Hold off feeding in autumn and winter.LEAF CARE
Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep the striking leaf patterns vibrant.PET FRIENDLY?
Yes! Safe for pets and kids – non-toxic and a great choice for animal lovers.EXTRA TIPS
Crispy edges? Usually, a sign of low humidity or tap water sensitivity | Moves its leaves up and down throughout the day – totally normal and part of its charm | Rotate occasionally for even, upright growth. - 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.
