Use and Care Manual

TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Growing results may vary by region.
Watering: Suffi cient watering is
a must! Water once a week
or when soil appears dry.
Water thoroughly so
it reaches the tray
underneath. Most
houseplants require
that the soil dries out
between watering but
never allow it to become
completely dry. Overwatering can
be as damaging as underwatering.
Be sure your container has adequate
drainage holes to avoid standing
water.
Pruning: Houseplants rarely need
pruning. However, any dead,
damaged or unsightly growth
can be removed as needed to
maintain an attractive
appearance. Often,
plants outgrow
their containers
and need to be
repotted into another
larger container to
promote further growth.
Winterizing: All houseplants should
remain indoors during the cold
Winter months. Some plants can be
moved outdoors in shaded areas
during Summer months.
Upon arrival, carefully remove
your plant from the shipping box
and water.
Use a container that is suitable
to the mature height and
width of your houseplant, with
proper drainage holes and a
tray underneath.
Flip the plant upside down and
gently remove the pot by pulling
it up and away from the root
ball. Recycle the pot.
Fill the container with potting soil
about halfway.
Place plant into new pot and fi ll
with loose soil until the top of the
root ball is level with the top of
the container.
Pick a room for your plant to
live in, near a window with
fi ltered, indirect sunlight.
