Care Tips

Light: Thrives in low to bright indirect light; ideal for rooms with filtered light, but avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorching.

Watering: Water when the top 2-5 cm of soil feels dry, typically every 1-2 weeks, ensuring well-draining soil to avoid root rot.

Temperature: Thrives in 18-27°C; keep above 15°C to avoid cold stress.

Pet Friendly? ❌ Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, causing mouth irritation.

Care: Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and boost shine; prune yellowing leaves to maintain its lush, marbled appearance.

What would you like to see:

To ensure fresh and healthy plants we follow a strict weekly shipping schedule: 

Mondays: We prepare plants for shipping! This means wrapping the soil, adding plant sleeves, and one last pre-travel watering. 
Tuesdays: We wake up bright and early to get all plants carefully packaged for shipping in the morning, in the afternoon we hand over plants with the longest travel ahead of them to our courier partners (this means Eastern, Western and Northern Cape)
Wednesdays: If there are any plants that did not fit in the Tuesday truck, they travel in the second batch on a Wednesday. 
Thursdays and Fridays: No plants are shipped, we carefully monitor all the travelling plant babies to ensure they arrive safely at their new homes ! 

Why do we do this? 

Our shipping schedule works this way to ensure that your plants are less likely to spend a weekend in the courier depot ! Our shipping schedule is designed this way to ensure that your plants are fresh and healthy, for this same reason we do not like keeping stock for extended periods of time which means that stock received on Thursdays and Fridays will only be shipped the following week.
