Self-Watering Pot

Light

• Bright indirect light is ideal.
  
• Can tolerate a few hours of gentle morning sun.
  
• Avoid harsh afternoon sun, which may scorch variegated leaves.
  
• Insufficient light can reduce variegation and slow growth.
  

Watering

• Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.
  
• Water when the top 2–5 cm (1–2 inches) of soil feels slightly dry.
  
• Increase watering during active growth in spring and summer.
  
• Reduce watering during cooler months.
  

Humidity

• Prefers moderate to high humidity (60%+).
  
• Benefits from humidifiers or greenhouse conditions.
  
• Higher humidity helps prevent browning leaf edges.
  

Temperature

• Ideal range: 20–30°C (68–86°F).
  
• Avoid temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
  
• Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

Soil

• Rich, well-draining tropical plant mix.
  
• A blend containing coco coir, bark, perlite, and compost works well.
  
• Soil should retain moisture while allowing excess water to drain.
  

Fertilizer

• Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer.
  
• Reduce feeding during fall and winter.

All orders are shipped within 1–2 business days, with delivery times of 1–5 days depending on your location. Each plant is carefully packaged to ensure safe arrival, with complimentary insulation and heat packs included during colder months for optimal protection. We ship exclusively with Purolator. If you are not home upon delivery, Purolator will take your package to a nearby facility and leave a notice — your plant will never be left at your door.

Each plant comes in its original nursery pot, which is typically 0.5–1 inch smaller than the listed size to ensure it fits neatly into a decorative pot of the same size.

As with all living things, each plant is unique. Natural variation in size, shape, and coloration is to be expected. We do our best to select a plant that closely matches the one shown on our website in the size you've chosen one that's healthy, beautiful, and ready to thrive in your home.

We carefully monitor the destination weather for every order to ensure your plants arrive safely. When needed, complimentary heat packs and insulation are included to protect them from cold temperatures during transit.

Winter— Canadian winters mean shorter daylight and dry indoor air from heating. If natural light is limited from November through February, a full-spectrum grow light on a 12-hour timer helps maintain healthy growth and prevents etiolation (stretching toward light). Water sparingly once soil begins to dry, keep away from heating vents and cold glass, and use a humidifier or pebble tray to maintain humidity. Keep plants comfortably above 15°C.
