How to Care for Your Rare Plants

  • Light: Most rare and unusual plants do best with bright light that comes from the side. Make sure not to put them in full sunlight. It can burn their delicate leaves.
  • Watering: When you water, make sure the soil stays wet but that the pot can drain well. Root rot can happen if you water too much. Let the dirt dry out a bit in between watering
  • Humidity: Alocasia and Monstera do very well in wet places. You could mist the leaves often or use a humidity tray.
  • Feeding: Use a balanced liquid fertiliser to feed your plants during the growing season. That will help the plant grow well and have bright leaves.
