Care guides

Happy Plants Start Here

No jargon, no overwhelm. Just honest, practical advice for keeping your plants thriving — from the people who grew them.

Plant care doesn't have to be complicated

Most plants fail for one of two reasons: too much water or not enough light. Get those two things right and you're most of the way there. These guides cover the essentials for our most popular plants — and if you ever get stuck, just give us a call.

Monsteras are forgiving, fast-growing, and absolutely stunning. Give them bright indirect light and let the soil dry out between waterings.

Monsteras love bright, indirect light — think a few feet back from a sunny window. They'll tolerate lower light but will grow more slowly and produce fewer splits in their leaves. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
