Product
Details
The plant you receive may look slightly different from the photo. All plants come with a care card.
01
Frequency
Water daily if the plant is receiving more than 3 hours of direct sunlight each day. Direct sunlight and strong ventilation can increase evaporation and the plant’s watering needs.
When to water
The plant is ready for its next watering when checked with a wooden chopstick, it should feel slightly damp, but the soil picked up by the stick should leave a matt muddy streak on your skin and feel powdery.
How to water
Water thoroughly until excess water drains from the bottom of the pot. This ensures the entire root system is well hydrated and helps to flush out mineral buildup.
Moisture level/content
Do not allow the potting mix to dry out completely. Keep the mix consistently moist but not waterlogged. The surface can feel slightly dry, but the lower layers should remain damp.

02
Lighting needs
Direct sunlight is required to provide the plant the energy required to maintain its healthy dense foliage. Without sufficient light, the plant can’t sustain its foliage and may weaken over time.
Placement
Keep the plant in a bright location with ample amount of direct sunlight, such as by a window, balcony or the outdoors.

03
Checking the soil
Never guess! Always use the chopstick method to test before each watering to prevent overwatering. Gently insert it as far as you can go and rub it on your hand afterwards to feel for dampness and texture.
Showering
It is good to gently shower your plant during each watering session to wash away any hidden pests. A gentle spray over the top and under side of the plant will ensure your plant stays pest-free and happy.
Flexibility
It is recommended to stay flexible in your watering schedule, as environment & weather do play a factor in how fast a plant can be ready for its next watering session.
Wiring
Keep the wiring on until the trunk/branches permanently hold their new shape. However, if the wire can be observed ‘biting’ into the bark as the tree grows, remove it immediately to prevent scarring.

When do I know if I can repot my plant?

Your plant will give you a few clear signs! Look out for roots growing out from the drainage hole, soil has sinked considerably and an increase in frequency of watering. As a general rule, most plants love a slightly bigger home every 1 or 2 years.

Should I trim my plant?

Yes, absolutely! Trimming/pruning is like giving a fresh haircut to your plant. It encourages the plant to grow back fuller and helps to neaten up the plant.

Always snip off any leaves that have completely turned yellow, brown, or crispy. These won't turn green again, and removing them signals the plant to redirect its energy into growing shiny new leaves instead.

Do I need to fertilise my plant regularly?

Not necessarily! Fertilisers are more of a vitamin boost rather than actual food (plants make their own food using sunlight!). But if you want to accelerate its growth and see bigger, lusher leaves, a little fertiliser can definitely give it that extra push. Otherwise, your plant can and will do perfectly fine without it.

Never fertilise a plant that is undergoing stress, wilting, or root rot. Fertiliser is meant to boost a healthy plant, not rescue a sick one!

How often should I water my plant?

Watering frequency varies depending on the plant, potting mix, and lighting environment. We recommend checking the soil moisture with a chopstick before watering or refer to the plant’s care guide on our website!

Can I overwater my plant?

Yes, it’s possible. Overwatering is one of the most common causes of unhealthy plants. Always allow the potting mix to reach the recommended moisture level before the next watering cycle.

My plant dropped a few leaves. Is this normal?

Yes. It's common for plants to experience minor leaf drop after transport or when adjusting to its new environment. Given time and proper care, most plants will recover and begin producing new growth.
