Each plant will come with a care tag, providing information specific to that plant. Generally, these guidelines will help to keep most houseplants in great shape.

Most plants prefer natural light, and many can flourish in the office with flourescent lighting as well. Foliage plants do well under lower light levels than blooming plants do. Blooming plants should be placed in areas with the most light for the best floral color, and to encourage all the buds to blossom.

It is best to keep your plants evenly moist, neither letting them dry out, nor overwatering. Avoid getting the leaves wet when watering. Do not leave plants in standing water. Remember, plants are thirstier in the winter, when the dry heat is on.

Keep your plants in constant temperature of 65 - 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
