Care Tips

🌿 Care: Overwatering turns tips brown like burnt boerewors—let top 2-3cm dry out first to dodge root rot! Trim crispy tips with clean scissors & pot up spiderette babies for free plants. For dusty stripes from dry air, mist weekly & wipe leaves monthly. Pro tip: They’re SA tough—flourish anywhere like Highveld grass!

☀️ Light: Indirect bright to low light—loves east-facing windows or shady corners; tolerates almost anything but direct sun bleaches stripes like overdone pap!

💧 Watering: Water when top 2-3cm soil feels dry (every 7-10 days); use room-temp water & ensure pot has drainage to prevent mushy roots.

🌡️ Temperature: 15-27°C—perfect for toasty SA springs & cosy winter homes; tough as nails, but keep away from icy draughts below 10°C.

🍽️ Feeding: Apply a balanced, diluted Liquid Fertilizer (e.g., 5:1:4) every 4-6 weeks in spring & summer; skip in winter or use Slow Release Fertilizer pellets for lazy feeding all year.

Pet Friendly? ✅ Yes—totally safe for cats, dogs, kids & humans; fine for non-aquatic setups, but not for live fish tanks or ponds. 🐶🐱

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.
