How to care for Hawaiian Palm
They should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.
They will do best in bright light. A nice bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window, either with or without blinds, depending on if the plant can handle sun. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.
They like the soil to be relatively dry before the next watering. That usually takes about 2 weeks in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but for them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. droopy, floppy, or soft leaves). Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.
They will do well in average humidity environments but will appreciate a little bit of humidity if provided, give them a mist daily or get a humidifier.
As Hawaiian Palms are actually succulents and not palms, they are pretty drought tolerant not like other palms, and only need to be watered when the soil is mostly dry. They do have a dormant period (usually in summer), and doesn't like change (being moved from one place to another) when leaves are shed, but this usually only lasts a couple of months and then new foliage will reappear.
You can feel comfortable having this plant around your home in the potential case where your pet feels like nibbling on it. However, we typically recommend keeping your pets from eating any of your houseplants..

How to care for Haworthia Succulent Mystery Box
Haworthia Succulent enjoys some direct sun, but they'll also do well in bright, indirect light. It is best to place this plant somewhere where it will receive some nice morning sun, or a couple hours of afternoon sun, and then indirect light the rest of the day.
Haworthia Succulent will thrive in medium to bright light, but also can tolerate low light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed almost anywhere in the room but remember, plants will grow based on how much light they receive.
Haworthia Succulent likes the soil to be completely dry before the next watering. That usually takes about 4 weeks in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but for them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. wrinkly or soft leaves). Water a little more often in the warmer months!
Haworthia Succulent humidity requirement is low, so do not mist them or put them in an enclosed terrarium.
Haworthia Succulents are drought-tolerant and prefer to be under-watered. Not sure when to water? Wrinkles on the leaves are a telltale sign. If you want compact growth, keep the plant in very bright light!
You can feel comfortable having Haworthia Succulents around your home in the potential case where your pet feels like nibbling on it. However, we typically recommend keeping your pets from eating any of your houseplants..

How to care for Herb Garden Kit
They love as much sun as possible. The best spot for them is where they can see the sun during the majority of the day.
They will do best in bright light. A nice bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window, either with or without blinds, depending on if the plant can handle sun. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.
They like the soil to stay consistently moist, but not soaking wet. Give them water whenever just the surface of the soil is starting to get dry. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.
They like a high humidity environment. Outdoors, this should happen naturally in the summer, but indoors, give them a mist daily or as often as possible. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier.
Use an organic, diluted, balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once every 3 weeks. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this will reduce the essential oils of the plant, which, in turn, will greatly reduce their flavour and aroma. Pinch and prune often! The more you harvest your herbs, using clean scissors or clippers, the more they will produce. Never remove more than 1/3 of the plant when harvesting though.

How to care for Hibiscus
They love as much heat and sun as possible. The best spot for them is where they can see the sun during the majority of the day.
They will do their best and flower profusely in bright light. A nice bright place outside would be on a sunny balcony, deck, or backyard; inside your home, it would do best in a sunny window sill. Remember that plants will grow and flower based on how much light they receive.
They like the soil to stay consistently moist, but not soaking wet. Give them water whenever just the top inch of the soil is starting to get dry. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. Water your plant before the leaves start to wilt because once this occurs, the plant becomes stressed and has less energy to flower, shedding the flowers currently on it.
They like a high humidity environment. Outdoors, this should happen naturally in the summer, but indoors, give them a mist daily or as often as possible. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. Although they won't die if they don't receive enough humidity, their leaves may have some dry, crunchy, or yellow edges.
In order for them to bloom steadily, they truly need 6-8 hours of direct sunlight. Their stunning flowers will add pops of colour to your home, balcony, or yard. Fertilize every 2 weeks in the growing season with diluted, liquid fertilizer. Since they are relatively drought-tolerant, they are a great pick for busy or forgetful gardeners who may forget to water from time to time. To overwinter your plant, bring them inside and keep them in a window that receives sun all day, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soaking wet.
This plant is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home..

How to care for Holiday Cactus
They should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.
They will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.
They need to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.
They will do well in average humidity environments but will appreciate a little bit of humidity if provided, give them a mist daily or get a humidifier.
They can handle some direct sunlight, but an East-facing window would be best because too much direct sunlight will bleach their leaves. Although they prefer brighter light, they will take dimmer locations as long as they can be given brighter light for at least a few months of the year - this will actually encourage them to flower. Once your plant has ceased flowering (or about 6-8 weeks before you want it to re-bloom), let it begin its dormancy by cutting back on moisture and reducing light and temperature.

How to care for Hoya DS-70 Variegated
Hoya DS-70 Variegated should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.
Hoya DS-70 Variegated will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.
Hoya DS-70 Variegated likes the soil to be relatively dry before the next watering. That usually takes about 2 weeks in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but for them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. droopy, floppy, or soft leaves). Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.
Hoya DS-70 Variegated can live in any average home humidity condition and are fairly hardy.
Feed Hoya DS-70 Variegated regularly during the growing season with a low-nitrogen fertilizer that contains sufficient amounts of phosphorous and potassium to support flowering. Do not remove the peduncles (flower stalks) after blooming, as Hoyas can rebloom from the same stalks multiple times. Support the trailing vines with a trellis or let them hang freely from a basket for a natural, cascading effect.
You can feel comfortable having Hoya DS-70 Variegated around your home in the potential case where your pet feels like nibbling on it. However, we typically recommend keeping your pets from eating any of your houseplants..
