Philodendron
Philodendron
Shop productproduct info
Description
Low Maintenance & Tolerating: Philodendrons are known for their lush and vibrant foliage. Most philodendrons are climbing or vining plants, which means they have aerial roots that allow them to climb up trees or other supports. However, there are also compact or bushy varieties that grow more upright and do not require support. Philodendrons are great for beginners and the inconsistent plant parent.
Sun
Bright Indirect: thrive in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions.
Water
Moderate: They prefer well-draining soil and moderate watering, allowing the top inch or so of soil to dry out between waterings.

Description
THRIVE off neglect: Hoyas have thick, succulent-like leaves that are usually glossy and waxy, hence their common name "wax plant." Hoyas are generally low-maintenance plants, making them suitable for both beginner and experienced plant enthusiasts.
Sun
Bright Indirect: Most hoyas prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
Water
Low to Moderate: let dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's essential to provide well-draining soil and pots with drainage holes.

Alocasia
Shop productproduct info
Description
Humidity is KEY: Alocasia plants are known for their striking foliage, which can vary in shape, size, and color depending on the species and cultivar. The leaves can be glossy or matte, and their colors range from dark green to deep purple, with patterns of contrasting veins.
Sun
Bright, indirect light: place near a window where they can receive filtered sunlight or in a well-lit room. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
Water
Moderate: Alocasia plants like to be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Adequate humidity is crucial for Alocasia plants, so misting the leaves or using a humidifier can help create a suitable environment.

Cacti
Cacti
Shop productproduct info
Description
Dry, like the Desert: Cacti are native to the Americas, particularly in arid and desert regions. Their thick stems store water, allowing them to withstand long periods of drought. Spines or thorns, which are modified leaves, help to reduce water loss by providing shade and reducing airflow around the plant.
Sun
Bright: preferably direct sunlight. Place your cactus in a location where it can receive at least 6 hours of sunlight each day.
Water
Low: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, and then water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom of the pot. In general, it's better to underwater than overwater cacti to prevent root rot.
