Care Guide
Light Bright, indirect light
Place near a bright window where it receives plenty of indirect light. A bright kitchen window is often perfect. Avoid harsh direct sun that can stress foliage.
Water Slightly dry between waterings
Let the top portion of soil dry slightly, then water thoroughly and allow excess to drain. Avoid keeping the pot constantly wet.
Humidity Higher humidity can encourage blooms
Average home humidity is typically fine. If your air is very dry, grouping plants or using a humidifier can help support flowering.
Simple success rule: Bright, indirect light + breathable soil + consistent watering rhythm = better blooming.
48-Hour Arrival & Unboxing
Live plants can look a little travel-worn after shipping. A quick reset helps them acclimate and settle in fast.
| When | What to Do | Why It Helps |
|---|---|---|

| First 2–6 hours | Place in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun day one. | Reduces stress while it acclimates. |
| First 24 hours | Check soil moisture before watering. | Avoids overwatering right after transit. |
