Plant Care
Looking for some quick tips and care instructions for your new plant? Don't worry we've got you covered.
After unboxing your new plant we suggest removing the sphagnum moss from on top of the soil. The sphagnum is used for shipping purposes to keep soil moist and in place during transit. It is not needed once the plant has been received.
Always be sure to assess your plant’s watering needs upon receiving it. You'll want to check the first few inches on soil to assess properly.
While you may be eager to repot your plant right away we suggest waiting 1-2 weeks to allow your plant time to acclimate to it's new environment.
