How to Care for Low Maintenance Plants
"Low maintenance" doesn't always mean the same thing to everyone - so we carry all kinds! Here are the main three kinds:
The Endurance Plants:
For the people who are frequently going to forget that their plants need water (or any kind of attention), we have the classic 'low maintenance' plants. These include, snake plants (sanseveria), pothos, ZZ plants, succulents, and cacti.
The 'Teaching Plants':
For nervous newcomers, we have 'teaching plants' - those plants that let you know they need water by drooping a little. Usually these require frequent watering, but are great for the beginner who just keeps loving their succulents to death! This group includes polka dot plants (hypoestes), peace lilies (spathiphyllum), nerve plants (fittonia), and the fern family.
The Happy-Go-Lucky Plants:
Finally, we have the generally easy plants who can tolerate our general human mistakes, but require a bit more attention than those endurance plants. Among these, we have pilea, spider plants and monstera.
We are also always happy to advise you when you are worried about your plant friends!
For a more specialised selection, let us know which direction your windows face and what kind of natural light you have access to, so that we can select plants best suited to your environment!
Please specify if you require pet-friendly plants.
