Plant Care Instructions

GENERAL CARE: By avoiding the normal causes that are detrimental to plants (i.e. excessive hot or cold temperatures, drafts, etc.) you should find much enjoyment from our miniature potted plants. Remember, it is very easy to over water miniature potted plants. Therefore, it is best to set them in a pan of lukewarm water for 10 to 20 minutes. Then let the plant drain for 5 minutes before placing it back in its favorite spot. Most minis will require watering every 2 or 3 days depending on how hot and dry it is.

If your mini is grown in the foam medium, never let the foam go completely dry. If it becomes hard, place the miniature plant in a pan of warm water for 30 to 60 minutes or until it starts to rehydrate. Depending on how long the foam has been dry will determine if the plant can come back.
