Holly – Festive Glossy Evergreen 14cm

🌱 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.

Gold Crest, Cupressus Macrocarpa 19cm

🌱 Tips: Most problems arise from underwatering or very dry soil—browning tips indicate the plant is too dry or exposed to harsh heat. Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Trim lightly if the shape becomes uneven. Yellowing or dull foliage may indicate low light.

🌤️ Light: Bright light to full sun is ideal. Indoors, place near the brightest window for best colour. Outdoors, protect from intense late-afternoon heat in midsummer.

💧 Watering: Keep soil slightly moist. Water when the top 2–4 cm feels dry. Do not let the root ball dry out completely.

🌡️ Temperature: Thrives in 15°C – 26°C. Protect from frost and avoid placing next to heaters, as dry hot air can brown the foliage.

🍃 Feeding: Use Slow Release Fertilizer or feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced Liquid Fertilizer (e.g., 5:1:4). Reduce feeding during cooler months.

🐾 Pet Friendly? ❌ NO – May be toxic if leaves are ingested by pets or children.

Combo – String of Things (String of Hearts, String of Pearls, String of Turtles) 10cm

🌱 Tips: Most issues come from overwatering—soft, mushy leaves or sudden collapse means too much moisture. Allow soil to dry between waterings. If vines become sparse, trim lightly to encourage fuller growth. Brown spots may come from harsh sun or cold drafts. Remove damaged leaves to stimulate new, healthy growth.

🌤️ Light: Bright, indirect light or gentle morning sun. Avoid hot midday sunlight which can scorch leaves. Perfect near bright windows or under grow lights.

💧 Watering: Water when the soil is completely dry at the top 3–5 cm. These semi-succulents store moisture in their leaves, so err on the dry side.

🌡️ Temperature: Ideal range 18°C – 28°C, well suited to South African homes. Protect from frost, cold windowsills in winter, and blasting heaters.

🍃 Feeding: Use Slow Release Fertilizer or apply a balanced, diluted Liquid Fertilizer (e.g., 5:1:4). Feed once a month in spring and summer, and reduce heavily during autumn and winter.

🐾 Pet Friendly? ❌ NO – String of Pearls and String of Hearts are toxic if ingested by pets or children.

Combo – Elegant Ficus Foilage (Ficus Lyrata, Braided Ficus Mocalme) 19cm

🌱 Tips: Ficus plants dislike being moved too often—relocation can cause leaf drop. Brown spots or patchy edges usually come from inconsistent watering or cold drafts. If leaves yellow, check for overwatering. Trim any damaged leaves to encourage fresh growth. Keep the leaves clean by wiping gently with a damp cloth to help the plant photosynthesise better.

🌤️ Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. They tolerate some soft morning sun but avoid harsh midday rays through windows. Low light will cause leaf drop.

💧 Watering: Water when the top 4–6 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering. Ensure pots have good drainage. Reduce watering slightly in winter.

🌡️ Temperature: Best kept between 18°C – 28°C, typical for South African homes. Keep away from drafts, cold winter windows, and strong heaters.

🍃 Feeding: Use Slow Release Fertilizer 12-Month Fertilizer or apply a balanced, diluted Liquid Fertilizer (e.g., 5:1:4). Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer, and lightly or not at all in autumn and winter.

🐾 Pet Friendly? ❌ NO – Toxic to cats, dogs, and small pets if ingested. Keep out of reach from curious animals and children.

Combo – Peperomia Harmony Set (Peperomia Hope , Zorro and Green baby Rubber) 12cm

🌱 Tips: Peperomias are easy-going but dislike overwatering—one of the most common mistakes. If leaves turn mushy or stems collapse, the plant is staying too wet; let the soil dry out more between waterings. Brown edges or droopy leaves often mean too little water or very dry indoor air. Remove any damaged leaves to encourage new growth, and avoid compacted soil that stays soggy.

🌤️ Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. They tolerate medium light well but avoid harsh sun which can scorch the leaves. Perfect for shelves near windows.

💧 Watering: Water when the top 3–4 cm of soil feels dry. They prefer light, infrequent watering—similar to succulents. Ensure pots drain well.

🌡️ Temperature: Best between 18°C – 28°C, perfectly suited for South African homes. Keep away from heaters, cold drafts, and harsh winter windowsills.

🍃 Feeding: Use Slow Release Fertilizer or apply a balanced, diluted Liquid Fertilizer (e.g., 5:1:4). Feed lightly in spring and summer, and reduce feeding during autumn and winter.

🐾 Pet Friendly? ✅ YES – Non-toxic to cats, dogs, and children. Safe for homes with pets.

Combo – Forest Fern Mix (Silver Lace, Bird Nest, Staghorn) 12cm

🌱 Tips: Ferns love humidity, so avoid placing them directly next to heaters or air-conditioners—this often causes crispy brown edges. If fronds develop spots or dryness, simply trim damaged tips and increase humidity by misting or placing a saucer of water nearby. Silver Ferns especially dislike drying out, while Bird’s Nest Ferns are forgiving as long as water doesn’t collect in the centre cup. Staghorn Ferns may develop brown shield fronds—these are normal and should never be removed.

🌤️ Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh midday sun through windows, which can scorch fronds. Ideal placement: well-lit living rooms, bathrooms with windows, or bright offices.

💧 Watering: Keep soil lightly moist—not soggy. Water when the top 2–3 cm feels slightly dry. Mist regularly for best results. Staghorn Ferns can be soaked briefly when dry.

🌡️ Temperature: Best between 18°C – 26°C, ideal for typical South African homes. Protect from cold winter drafts and extreme heatwaves.

🍃 Feeding: Use Slow Release Fertilizer or apply a balanced, diluted Liquid Fertilizer (e.g., 5:1:4). Feed lightly in spring and summer, and reduce feeding during autumn and winter when growth slows.

🐾 Pet Friendly? ❌ NO – Not recommended for pets, as ingestion may cause mild digestive irritation. Safe for normal household display but keep out of reach from curious cats and dogs.

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.
