Each of our plants have be nurtured and cared for by Victoria herself; along with the usual items needed for healthy plant growth, Victoria has showered each of these plant babies with extensive love and light.  They are now ready to come home to you!
Snake Plant (Dracaena trifasciata)

Sun. While I can withstand full sun and can also handle low light, indirect sunlight is ideal for me. 

Water. I can easily rot so make sure my soil is well-drained and don't water me too much, I'm easy!       

Other ways to keep me happy: I will thrive in  55-85 degrees. However, I prefer temperatures on the warmer end of that spectrum. I do not require any extra humidity. Feed me twice a year with a general houseplant fertilizer.

Moses in the Cradle (Tradescantia spathacea)

Sun. Moses in the Cradle Houseplants like very bright light for at least 6-8 hours a day.

Water. Allow the top inch or two of soil in Moses in the Cradle Houseplants to dry out before watering. Keep the soil of Moses in the Cradle Plants drier during the winter when house plants are not actively growing.

Other ways to keep me happy: Temp 60-85 degrees (16-19C) is the best temperature for Moses-in-the- Cradle HousePlants. Moses in the Cradle Plants, or Oyster Plants as they are sometimes called, like to be a little cooler at night. Moses in the Cradle HousePlants prefer medium to high humidity.

Fiddle leaf fig sapling (Ficus lyrata)

Sun. I will grow best with consistent, bright, filtered light. Turn me every few months once I begin to lean towards the light. I prefer an east-facing, sunny window as afternoon sun from a south or west facing window will be too strong and will burn my leaves.                                   

Water. The number one way to kill a fiddle leaf fig is to overwater it or not allow for proper drainage. Water me about once a week or every 10 days. It’s best to soak the my soil until dripping, then let me dry out completely between waterings.           

Other ways to keep me happy: I prefer warm, humid climates similar to the weather from my native rain forests. House me in a room that is around 65-75°F.                                                       Not recommended for beginners.

Air plant (Tillandsia)

Sun. In order to thrive, air plants need bright, indirect light. Rooms with southern or eastern facing windows make good candidates, because these spaces will be brightly illuminated with sun for most of the day. Rooms with north-facing windows work well, too, as long as the plant is placed close to the window, and the window isn’t blocked by trees or a neighboring apartment complex. Western light tends to come late in the day, and can be very hot and intense. Careful - you don’t want to fry your air plant!

Water. Watering an air plant is the trickiest piece of the air plant care puzzle. Some people swear by misting, others by soaking, and still others use a combination of both misting and soaking in their air plant care regimen. Watering air plants is tricky because the needs of the plant vary dramatically with the space in which it is placed.

Other ways to keep me happy: Air plants are pretty easygoing when it comes to their temperature. They do best between 50-90 degrees F. Ideally, overnight temperatures will be about 10 degrees cooler than daytime temperature. Incorporating orchid or Bromeliad fertilizer into your watering regimen once or twice a month is a great way to keep your air plant happy. Just add a pinch to your water and proceed as usual. Fertilizing your air plant encourages it to blossom and reproduce (or pup -- more on this later)

Swiss Cheese plant (Monstera Deliciosa)

Sun. The Swiss Cheese Plant enjoys a combination of bright, indirect light and shade. In its natural habitat, it climbs up trees and therefore spends a lot of time sheltered from direct sunlight by the overhead canopy of the trees’ foliage. However, it also benefits from some indirect bright light shining through the leaves above, so it’s a good idea to try to recreate this environment as much as is possible within a home by placing the plant in a position where it will get a good amount of both filtered light and shade.

Water. The Swiss Cheese Plant should be watered moderately, with the top few inches of soil being allowed to dry out before watering again. Like most plants, the Swiss Cheese Plant is susceptible to root rot, so avoid letting the plant sit in water or having its soil become saturated with water.

Other ways to keep me happy: If you are comfortable in your home, then your Swiss Cheese Plant will be too. For optimum health, the plant should be in a temperature range of 65º F to 80º F, which is typically where most homes sit. If your Swiss Cheese Plant is subjected to temperatures lowers than 65º F, it will remain in good health but will grow at a slower rate. In temperatures any lower than 50º F, the plant will stop growing completely. For this reason, to maintain a thriving Swiss Cheese Plant, try to keep your home temperature comfortable as much as possible.

Snow bush (Breynia)

Sun. Bright indirect light. me a quarter-turn every week or so to expose all my sides to sunlight for even growth.

Water. Water thoroughly and often to maintain moist soil. Do not allow the soil to dry out at any time.

Other ways to keep me happy: Ideal temperature it about 65-75°F. Typically a tropical garden plant, Snow Bush likes warm, humid climates and does not like when the temperature drops too low. Standard household temperature works just fine.
