Care advice and additional information

Water - Allow the top layer of soil to completely dry before watering, then water thoroughly allowing excess water to drain away completely. Mist regularly.

Sunlight - Bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight as this can cause the leaves to yellow as well as dry out them out. Rotate pot to prevent leaves reaching for light. 

Feeding - Monthly during Spring and Summer. 

Toxicity - Keep away from pets. 

Packaging 

All plants come in a plastic nursery pot and Kraft compostable brown paper bag. Plants can be wrapped in coloured Kraft paper (black, pink or green) for free but by request beforehand to prevent wastage. All plants will include a care card.
