Shop plants

Select pots with drainage holes to prevent overwatering.
Ensure that the pot is the appropriate size for your plant. It should provide ample room for root growth.

Shop pots

Use a well-draining potting mix tailored to your plant type. Different plants have specific soil requirements, so research before potting.

Shop soils

Place your plant in a location with the right amount of light (refer to your plant’s specific care needs).
Avoid direct, harsh sunlight unless specified for sun-loving plants.
Keep plants away from air conditioners, heaters, or drafts.

Check the soil moisture before watering. Most indoor plants prefer slightly moist soil but not soggy.
Use room-temperature water and water slowly until it drains from the bottom of the pot.
Empty excess water from saucers to prevent root rot.

Shop watering pots

Most houseplants thrive in moderate humidity and temperatures between 18–27°C.
For tropical plants, increase humidity by misting, using a humidifier, or placing a water tray nearby.

Remove yellow or dead leaves to encourage healthy growth.
Rotate your plant every few weeks for even light exposure.

Shop knives & scissors

Fertilize your plants during their growing season.
Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer or a formula suitable for your specific plant type.

Shop fertilizers

Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat promptly if you notice an infestation.
Isolate infected plants to prevent the spread of diseases.

Shop pest & disease control

Repot your plants when they outgrow their containers or become root-bound.
Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage.

Use stakes or trellises to support tall or vining plants. Training can help maintain the desired shape and direction of growth.

Shop plant supports

Pay attention to your plants. Signs of stress, wilting, or discoloration are often indicators of their needs. Be patient as plants may take time to adapt and thrive.
