Mimic Natural Habitats:
Understand your plant’s native environment and try to mimic it. Tropical plants love humidity and indirect light (put in your bathroom or mist with water), while succulents need bright, direct sunlight (south-facing windows) and dry conditions.

Rotate Your Plants:
Rotate your plants 90 degrees weekly to ensure even growth. This simple step prevents lopsidedness and keeps your plants looking great.

Avoid Overwatering:
Check soil moisture before watering. Insert your finger an inch into the soil; if it’s dry, water it, but don’t overwater. We use a moisture meter at home, which helps tremendously.

Water From the Bottom:
This keeps plants healthy and lowers the risk of mold, fungus, and fungus knats. For closed flower pots, use a short 3/4” irrigation tube to fit your pot height (@eldershardware) and fill the dirt in around it when planting. When you water your plant, pour the water directly into the tube, which will allow the water to go straight to the roots. For small pots or plants that don’t like a lot of water, fill the tube half way with landscape sand, which will keep you from overwatering. (See below image)
