Humidity & temperature

After delivery
Help your plant settle in
A little travel stress is normal. Keep the first few days simple.
Unpack gently
Remove the natural wood strands from the soil surface. They kept soil in place during shipping.
Check before watering
Feel the soil first and follow the plant-specific watering cue above. Do not water only because it arrived.
Let it rest
Place it in the recommended light and keep it away from heating vents, cold drafts and harsh direct sun.
Keep its nursery pot
If you chose an upgraded pot, leave the plant in its nursery pot inside it. Decorative moss may stay or be removed.

Quick troubleshooting
Check the simplest causes first and change one part of the routine at a time.
- Yellowing Leaves: Typically a sign of overwatering. Let the soil dry out more between waterings.
- Brown Leaf Tips: Could indicate low humidity. Increase humidity levels around the plant.
- Pests: Spider mites and scale can be an issue. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.
When in doubt: wait, check the soil again and compare what you see with the care guidance above.
