Madagascar Palm
How to care for Madagascar Palm
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 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 can live in any average home humidity condition and are fairly hardy.
Madagascar Palms are best grown in well-draining soil and prefer a pot with good drainage. During the winter months, reduce watering significantly as the plant enters a dormant period.
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 Majesty 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 well in medium light but will grow faster with brighter light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size 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.
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.
The brown fronds do not necessarily indicate a problem, if it is being watered properly. They can be removed over time, if they turn brown or yellow, which allows for fresh space and energy to go towards new leaf growth. Like other palm trees, the fronds on your Majesty Palm will eventually die over time. Spider mite loves all palms, give your palm a shower every once a while or when you see them will keep them away.
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 Mandevilla
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 need to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. When outside, how fast the soil dries will depend on how sunny and warm the days are, so check your plant daily. Indoors, that can take about 1 week, but it will vary depending on the time of year, the environment, and lighting conditions. It's safer to underwater, or check the soil, before you water again, especially during the winter. Expect to water more often in the summer and less often in the winter.
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, only watering when the top half of the soil is dry. Some foliage may die but they should produce new foliage in the Spring again.
This plant is extremely toxic to pets and should not be kept around any animals that have a tendency to eat houseplants as it will lead to severe reactions..

Feel free to trim up long runners and repot them back into your plant to keep it looking bushy and full. Use sharp, clean scissors and carefully cut just below a leaf node, then remove the leaf at that node and plant that part of the stem, as that is where the roots will form. If you miss a watering or two and your ivy wilts, don't worry -- it should recover after you give it a splash of water, just take care not to overwater ivy. If your plant is given a totem to climb, it should develop bushier, more mature growth and develop sharper, triangular leaves with no lobes.

To propagate, make cuttings at a node, which is where the leaf (and the attached petiole) attaches onto the stem or vine, and place them in water or soil to grow a bit. Make sure that each cutting has one or two leaves, and that you place at least one node underwater or under the soil line. Avoid letting the soil dry out fully, as this can lead to yellowing and loss of leaves.
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..

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 well in medium light but will grow faster with brighter light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size 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 like a high humidity environment, 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.

They should not be in a position to see the sun directly, as it is too intense for them. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is fine 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 like the soil to be relatively dry before the next watering. That usually takes about two weeks in an average home environment. It may 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). Water more often in the warmer months!
They can live in any average home humidity condition and are fairly hardy. However, they will love you more if you give them some humidity.
Since they have variegation, they will need brighter light than the original Monstera Deliciosa, but still, avoid direct sun. They are very easy to take care of, the secret is to not overwater them and pay attention to abnormal signs like yellow or falling leaves. They will also love a bit more humidity in the colder months! Water more frequently during warmer months and fertilize during growth.

They enjoy 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.
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 completely dry before the next watering. This can take up to 4 weeks in an average home environment but it will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions. 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.
Their humidity requirement is low, so do not mist them or put them in a terrarium.
Be sure not to water directly on the plant itself, but rather on the soil around the plant, because if water gets into the folds, it may lead to rot. They also prefer to have a crowded home, which means you can repot in the same pot for several years.
