Watering
Water most ferns with enough water to keep the soil evenly moist. To avoid root rot, keep soil from being soggy
Fertilizer
Fertilize with ½ solution every 2 weeks in spring/summer & once a month in the fall
Airplant
The “Tillandsia” species doesn’t require soil to grow. Instead they absorb water and nutrients through their leaves. The unique shapes make them very popular & collectable. Most are native to Central & South American forests or deserts. They colonize on rocks & trees by climbing onto them with their roots.
Light
Bright indirect light
Care
Relatively easy. They require good air circulation. Fun to decorate with.
Watering
Totally submerge in a bowl of water for one hour. Place upside down in a towel until dry. Water T. Xerographica air plants once every 3-4 weeks, smaller air plants need a bath once a week. The hotter the environment/ season the more frequently you need to water your tillandsia
Leafy Tropical Plant
Leafy tropical plants are loved for their bold shapes, rich colors & lush foliage. These plants bring a vibrant, jungle feel to any space and thrive in warm, bright environments. With the right balance of light, water & humidity, they are rewarding and long-lasting houseplants.
Calathea – Ficus – Fittonia – Monstera – Philodendron – Schefflera – Alocasia
Light
Medium to bright indirect light. Most leafy tropicals prefer East or filtered South/West-facing windows. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch leaves.
Humidity
Leafy tropical plants enjoy higher humidity. Mist lightly with lukewarm water, use a pebble & water tray, group plants together, or place in kitchens and bathrooms to boost moisture levels.
Water
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Fertilizer
Fertilize with ½ strength balanced fertilizer every 2 weeks during spring and summer, and once a month in fall. Reduce or stop feeding in winter.
Semi- Succulent Tropical Plants
Semi-succulent tropical plants store moisture in their leaves or stems, making them more tolerant of missed waterings. With their unique textures and architectural forms, these plants are both stylish and low-maintenance, perfect for bright indoor spaces.
Hoya – Peperomia – Zamioculcas zamiifolia – Sansevieria – Ceropegia – Palms
Light
Medium to bright indirect light. Many semi-succulent tropicals adapt well to a range of light conditions, but brighter light encourages healthier growth. Some can tolerate lower light, though growth may slow.
Humidity
Average household humidity is sufficient. While they appreciate occasional misting, these plants do not require high humidity and prefer good air circulation.
Water
Allow soil to dry partially between waterings. Water thoroughly, then let excess water drain away. Avoid keeping soil constantly wet, as this can lead to root rot.
Fertilizer
Fertilize with ½ strength balanced fertilizer every 3–4 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
