Growing Instructions:
Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Requires well-draining soil. It thrives in sandy or loamy soil with a pH level of 6.0 to 8.0. Water regularly but ensure the soil is well-drained. Overwatering can lead to root rot. During dry spells, water more frequently. Hardy in USDA zones 5-9 (can tolerate temperatures down to -10°F or -23°C). Trim the plants in early spring to remove old wood and promote new growth. Regular harvesting can also help keep the plant bushy and healthy. Generally pest-resistant but can occasionally be affected by aphids or spider mites. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.

Ships in 3" pots. You will receive a plant similar to the ones pictured, though size and fullness may vary. Please understand that shipped plants have bumpy rides. A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰

 

Heat packs are available to purchase in our shop for cold-sensitive plants. Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 These are necessary for winter shipping, so I sell them at cost. I won't refund or replace any frozen plants unless you buy one!
