Expert Tip
Care & Size Guidance
Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Water less in winter and check the top 3 inches to be dry to touch. Use filtered, distilled or rain water to avoid chemicals in the tap water.
Most indoor plants like a steady diet of liquid plant food, but not palms. Palms are slow-growing, especially indoors, and don’t need much fertilizer.
Expert Tip
Brown leaves tips
Most of the time, the indoor plants will develop brown tips because of stress factors in the environment:
low moisture in the air – mist the plant every other day or place on a tray with pebbles that is always topped up with water. Alternatively, a cool-mist humidifier can help.
dry soil – do not allow the soil to dry completely
salts accumulating in the soil – tap water is most of the time very hard and deposits of limescale can form on the roots. use filtered, distilled or rain water
Item arrived on time and in generally good condition – a little dusty, though, and all the leaf tips are browned. Nonetheless very pleased with it – it looks very impressive in my living room.
