Add some luscious greenery to your home with this collection of assorted 4" tropical plants!
Assorted tropical plants, native to warm, humid environments, generally thrive indoors with consistent care, including proper light, watering, humidity, and temperature. Specific needs vary by plant, so research individual species for optimal care, but common practices include bright indirect light, moist but not soggy soil, and increased humidity through misting or a humidifier.
General Care Tips:
Light: Most tropicals prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves.
Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring good drainage to prevent root rot.
Humidity: Tropicals love humidity. Mist plants regularly or place them near a humidifier.
Temperature: Maintain a temperature range between 21 and 27°C during the day and 18-21°C at night, avoiding sudden temperature changes.
Fertilization: Fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer, avoiding over-fertilization.
Pest Control: Inspect plants regularly for pests like scale or aphids and treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
Pruning: Trim leggy growth or remove unsightly growth.
Cleaning: Wipe dusty leaves with a soft cloth

Plant Care Tips
Will you pot my plant for me?
Yes! If you are purchasing a plant and pot at the same time, we are happy to pot the plant for you for no additional charge.
How often should I water my plants?
It depends on the type of plant and its environment. Most indoor plants prefer to dry out a bit between waterings, while others like moisture.
A general rule is to water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's better to under-water slightly than over-water.
How much sunlight do my plants need?
Different plants have varying light needs. Some thrive in direct sunlight, while others prefer bright, indirect light. Check the specific requirements for your plant, but in general, place sun-loving plants near south-facing windows and shade-tolerant plants in lower light areas or further from windows.
When and how should I fertilize my plants?
Fertilize during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks using a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter when most plants are dormant.
Always follow the instructions on the fertilizer package to avoid over-fertilizing, which can damage plants.
How can I prevent pests from damaging my plants?
Keep plants healthy by providing the right water, light, and air circulation. Check for pests like aphids, spider mites, and mealybugs regularly.
If you spot them, wipe them off with a damp cloth or treat the plant with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Isolating new plants for a couple of weeks can also prevent pest spread.
