1. When removing plant from container and protective packaging, avoid bending leaves and stems to avoid breakage; using a friend to help is always advised, and more fun!
2. Plants become weak and stressed in their journey to you. They need to be exposed to light, and if the soil is dry, water it thoroughly.
3. Specific care instructions are included in each package, and general guidelines are shown below in this article. 
4. Wear and tear is to be expected with plant delivery due to shipping. A small amount of damage or loss of leaves might occur.
5. Leaves that are slightly drooping will perk up within a few days with adequate watering.
6. We advise against repotting any plant received for at least two weeks in order to not overstress the plant.

1. Air plants are low-maintenance plants that don’t need soil or much water to survive.
2. All these beauties needs is a good soak in a sink full of water for 30-45 minutes every 3 weeks, starting after about 1 week after arrival.
3. Xerographica prefer bright but indirect light, so place it near a sunny window, just out of the path of direct beams.
4. Air plants are pretty tough and should be able to withstand the elements and temperatures from 45 to 80 degrees.

1. Succulents like lots of bright light and very little water, like a cactus.
2. They’re typically watered every 4-6 weeks, and the soil should be totally dry before watering.
3. The easiest way to kill a succulent is by over-watering it.
4. Succulents thrive with lots of sunlight, so placing a succulent in a South-facing window is preferred.

1. Orchids are unique in that they only require a small amount of space in order to feel happy and provide a long blooming period of 4-6 weeks.
2. Orchids are best kept in medium sun and at 70-80 degrees F.
3. Water your orchid once every few weeks with about 1.5 ounces of warm water (approximately 1 shot glass).

1. Different types of cacti require different amounts of light, but all types benefit from warm weather environments. We recommended keeping desert cacti in a south facing window or within 3 feet of a bright light source. Rotating your cacti can help ensure they receive full spectrum light on all sides and do not begin growing towards their light source. Forest cacti, on the other hand, should be kept out of direct sunlight and should receive low levels of light or filtered light.
2. Overwatering is one of the easiest ways to kill a cactus!  Desert cacti can be left without water for several weeks with no noticeable side effects, because these plants have evolved to survive in continually drier and warmer areas. Avoid leaving cacti in soggy or water-logged soil due to their shallow root system. Allow the vessel your cacti is in to fully drain to avoid overwatering.
3. Desert cacti do not require frequent repotting. Aerate their soil to avoid any potential clogging and keep your cactus happy and healthy! Forest cacti can go long periods of time without repotting, but refreshing their soil is beneficial to the overall health of the plant. We recommend a mixture for good drainage, generally something with perlite or even orchid bark in the mix.

Fresh Wreaths (Christmas)

1. After unboxing your fresh wreath or garland, you may need to fluff the foliage as it is normal for loss or shifting during transit. 
2. Hang the wreath in a cool, dry location to avoid direct sunlight and heat. 
3. Mist your fresh greens with water every few days if it is in a very dry or warmer location. If it is kept in a cool location outside, misting may not be necessary.

Garden Floral Wreaths

1. Your wreath is hand made using fresh and preserved components and is intended to dry beautifully. 
2. Carefully remove the wreath from the box. It may need a little fluffing as some foliage loss or shifting is normal during transit.  
3. It is not recommended to hang your wreath outdoors unless it is in an area  covered and protected from the elements like rain or snow.
4. Your wreath should not be misted or kept in a location that is too humid or in direct sunlight. If kept in a dry location out of direct sunlight, it should preserve nicely to be enjoyed for months.
