Care Tips

🌱 Tips: Holly prefers evenly moist soil-browning leaf edges often come from dryness. Avoid letting the soil fully dry out. Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them glossy. Remove any damaged or yellowing leaves to encourage fresh growth.

🌤️ Light: Bright light to medium light. Thrives near bright windows but can tolerate slightly lower light indoors. Avoid harsh direct midday sun indoors.

💧 Watering: Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Ensure good drainage and avoid waterlogging. Do not allow the plant to stand in excess water.

🌡️ Temperature: Ideal range 12°C – 24°C. Keep away from heaters or cold drafts. Holly tolerates cooler rooms better than many indoor plants.

🍃 Feeding: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced Liquid Fertilizer (e.g., 5:1:4) or use Slow Release Fertilizer. Reduce feeding in autumn and winter.

🐾 Pet Friendly? ❌ NO – Holly leaves and berries (even decorative ones if chewed) may be harmful if ingested by pets or children.

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.
