Bold foliage. A little dramatic. Worth it.
☀️ LIGHT
Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid harsh direct sun, especially while your plant is young or adjusting to a new environment.
💧 WATER
Keep the growing medium lightly and consistently moist, but never soggy. Allow the top portion to begin drying before watering again. Avoid letting Alocasia stay completely dry for long periods.
💦 HUMIDITY
Alocasia appreciate moderate to higher humidity. Around 50–70% works well for most established plants. Good airflow is just as important as humidity.
🪴 SOIL
Use a light, airy, well-draining aroid mix that holds some moisture while still allowing plenty of oxygen around the roots.
🌱 FEEDING
Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertilizer. Young plants have smaller root systems, so more fertilizer is not necessarily better.
💚 PWP TIP
Give your new Alocasia time to adjust. A yellowing or dropped leaf after shipping or a major environment change doesn't always mean the plant is failing. Watch the roots and new growth, and avoid making several major care changes at once.
Velvety leaves, beautiful roots, and room to grow.
☀️ LIGHT
Give your Anthurium bright, indirect light. Avoid intense direct sun, which can scorch the foliage. Consistent light helps support healthy leaves and steady growth.
💧 WATER
Water when the growing medium begins to dry, rather than following a strict schedule. Anthuriums enjoy consistent moisture but also need oxygen around their roots, so avoid keeping the medium constantly saturated.
💦 HUMIDITY
Moderate to higher humidity is appreciated, especially by velvet-leaf varieties. Around 50–70% works well for many Anthuriums. Pair higher humidity with good airflow.
🪴 SOIL
Use a chunky, airy aroid mix with excellent drainage and plenty of airflow around the roots. Anthuriums generally prefer a mix that can retain some moisture without becoming dense or waterlogged.
🌱 FEEDING
Feed lightly with a balanced fertilizer during active growth. Consistent, gentle feeding is generally better than occasional heavy doses.
💚 PWP TIP
Anthuriums can take time to adjust after shipping or a change in environment. Give your plant time before repotting or making several care changes. New leaves may also look soft or lighter in color before they fully harden.
Easygoing growth with plenty of personality.
☀️ LIGHT
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Many Philodendrons tolerate medium light, but brighter indirect light generally supports stronger growth and better color or variegation. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sun.
💧 WATER
Water when the upper portion of the growing medium begins to dry. Philodendrons prefer consistent moisture but don't like sitting in soggy soil. Always consider how moist the mix feels instead of watering on a strict schedule.
💦 HUMIDITY
Average household humidity is suitable for many Philodendrons, although moderate humidity around 50–70% can encourage healthy growth. Good airflow is important, especially at higher humidity.
🪴 SOIL
Use a chunky, airy, well-draining aroid mix. The goal is a medium that retains enough moisture for the roots while still allowing plenty of airflow and drainage.
🌱 FEEDING
Feed lightly with a balanced fertilizer during active growth. Consistent, gentle feeding can support healthy foliage without overwhelming the roots.
💚 PWP TIP
Pay attention to how your Philodendron grows. Climbing varieties often produce larger, more mature leaves when given a support such as a pole or plank, while self-heading varieties don't need anything to climb.
Easygoing, fast-growing, and made to trail or climb.
☀️ LIGHT
Bright, indirect light is ideal, but Pothos are adaptable and can tolerate lower light. Variegated varieties generally benefit from brighter indirect light to help maintain their coloring. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sun.
💧 WATER
Allow the upper portion of the growing medium to begin drying before watering again. Pothos prefer consistent moisture but should not remain soggy. Check the growing medium rather than watering on a strict schedule.
💦 HUMIDITY
Pothos adapt well to average household humidity. Around 40–60% works well for most varieties, although moderate humidity can encourage healthy, vigorous growth.
🪴 SOIL
Use a light, airy, well-draining mix that retains some moisture while still allowing plenty of oxygen around the roots. Avoid dense growing mediums that remain wet for long periods.
🌱 FEEDING
Feed lightly with a balanced fertilizer during active growth. Consistent, gentle feeding can support the fast growth Pothos are known for.
💚 PWP TIP
Pothos can trail beautifully, but they're natural climbers too! Giving your plant a pole, plank, or other support can encourage larger, more mature leaves over time. Don't worry if a newly received plant slows down temporarily while adjusting to its new home.
Easygoing vines, beautiful foliage, and blooms worth waiting for.
☀️ LIGHT
Give your Hoya plenty of bright, indirect light. Some gentle morning or late-day sun can be beneficial once the plant is acclimated. Variegated varieties generally appreciate brighter light to help maintain their coloring.
💧 WATER
Allow the growing medium to partially dry before watering again. Hoyas generally prefer drying more between waterings than many other tropical plants. Avoid keeping the roots constantly wet.
💦 HUMIDITY
Most Hoyas adapt well to normal household humidity. Moderate humidity around 40–60% is usually comfortable, although some varieties appreciate higher humidity. Always provide good airflow.
🪴 SOIL
Use a very airy, fast-draining mix. Hoyas appreciate plenty of oxygen around their roots, so avoid dense growing mediums that remain wet for long periods.
🌱 FEEDING
Feed lightly with a balanced fertilizer during active growth. Consistent, gentle feeding can support healthy vines, foliage, and eventually flowering.
💚 PWP TIP
Don't rush to repot your Hoya into a much larger container. Hoyas generally do well in appropriately snug pots, and an oversized pot can hold excess moisture around a small root system.
Big leaves, bold growth, and made to climb.
☀️ LIGHT
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Monsteras can tolerate medium light, but brighter indirect light generally supports stronger growth, larger leaves, and mature leaf development. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sun.
💧 WATER
Water when the upper portion of the growing medium begins to dry. Monsteras enjoy consistent moisture but should not remain soggy. Check the growing medium rather than watering on a strict schedule.
💦 HUMIDITY
Most Monsteras adapt well to average household humidity. Moderate humidity around 40–60% is usually sufficient, although higher humidity can support healthy growth when paired with good airflow.
🪴 SOIL
Use a chunky, airy, well-draining aroid mix that retains some moisture without becoming compact or waterlogged. Healthy Monstera roots appreciate plenty of oxygen.
🌱 FEEDING
Feed lightly with a balanced fertilizer during active growth. Regular, gentle feeding can help support the larger foliage Monsteras are known for.
💚 PWP TIP
Monsteras are climbers! Giving your plant a pole, plank, or other support can encourage more mature growth and larger leaves over time. If your plant is still small, don't worry if it doesn't have splits or holes yet, fenestrations develop as the plant matures under good growing conditions.
Fast-growing, colorful, and wonderfully adaptable.
☀️ LIGHT
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Syngoniums can tolerate medium light, but brighter indirect light generally encourages fuller growth and helps colorful or variegated varieties maintain their appearance. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sun.
💧 WATER
Water when the upper portion of the growing medium begins to dry. Syngoniums appreciate consistent moisture but should not remain soggy. Check the growing medium rather than watering on a strict schedule.
💦 HUMIDITY
Syngoniums adapt well to average household humidity, although moderate humidity around 40–60% can encourage healthy growth. Higher humidity should always be paired with good airflow.
🪴 SOIL
Use a light, airy, well-draining aroid mix that retains some moisture without staying waterlogged. Syngoniums enjoy moisture around their roots but still need plenty of oxygen.
🌱 FEEDING
Feed lightly with a balanced fertilizer during active growth. Consistent, gentle feeding can support the fast growth Syngoniums are known for.
💚 PWP TIP
Syngoniums can trail or climb depending on how you grow them. Give your plant a support if you'd like to encourage climbing and more mature growth, or let the vines trail for a fuller, cascading look.
Small plants, big personality, and easy to love.
☀️ LIGHT
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Many Peperomias tolerate medium light, but good indirect light helps maintain compact growth and vibrant foliage. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sun.
💧 WATER
Allow the growing medium to partially dry before watering again. Peperomias generally prefer drying more between waterings than many tropical plants. Their thicker leaves and stems can store moisture, so avoid keeping the roots constantly wet.
💦 HUMIDITY
Most Peperomias are comfortable in normal household humidity. Around 40–60% works well for many varieties. Good airflow is especially important if humidity is higher.
🪴 SOIL
Use a light, airy, well-draining mix. Peperomia roots are relatively fine and can be sensitive to staying wet for too long, so avoid dense or compact growing mediums.
🌱 FEEDING
Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertilizer. Peperomias don't need heavy feeding, so a gentle approach is best.
💚 PWP TIP
When in doubt, wait before watering. Peperomias are generally more forgiving of being slightly dry than staying too wet. Check the growing medium and the plant itself instead of watering just because a certain number of days have passed.
Lots of light, less water, and a little patience.
☀️ LIGHT
Most cacti and succulents prefer very bright light, and many can enjoy several hours of direct sun once properly acclimated. Increase direct light gradually to help prevent sunburn.
💧 WATER
Allow the growing medium to dry thoroughly between waterings. When it is time to water, water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain. Avoid giving small amounts of water frequently or keeping the roots constantly moist.
💦 HUMIDITY
Most cacti and succulents prefer lower to average household humidity and good airflow. They generally do not need the higher humidity preferred by many tropical houseplants.
🪴 SOIL
Use a fast-draining, well-aerated cactus or succulent mix with plenty of mineral material. The growing medium should allow excess water to drain quickly and should not remain wet for long periods.
🌱 FEEDING
Feed lightly during active growth with an appropriate fertilizer. Cacti and succulents generally do not require heavy or frequent feeding.
💚 PWP TIP
Overwatering is one of the easiest ways to struggle with cacti and succulents. Don't water simply because the surface looks dry. Check deeper into the growing medium and consider the plant's environment before reaching for the watering can.
Every plant has its own personality.
☀️ LIGHT
Most tropical houseplants appreciate bright, indirect light. Some plants tolerate lower light or enjoy gentle direct sun, so pay attention to the needs of your specific variety.
💧 WATER
Check the growing medium before watering rather than following a strict schedule. How quickly your plant dries can change depending on its pot size, growing medium, temperature, humidity, and light.
💦 HUMIDITY
Many tropical houseplants are comfortable around 40–60% humidity. Some varieties prefer higher humidity, but good airflow becomes increasingly important as humidity rises.
🪴 SOIL
Choose a growing medium appropriate for your specific plant. Whatever you use, healthy roots need a balance of moisture, drainage, and oxygen.
🌱 FEEDING
During active growth, most houseplants benefit from light feeding with an appropriate fertilizer. Avoid assuming that more fertilizer means faster growth.
💚 PWP TIP
Not sure what your plant needs? Start by identifying the plant and observing its growing medium, roots, leaves, and environment before making changes. Give newly received plants time to adjust after their journey home.
