CRASSULA CARE TIPS
BY PASSION FOR FLOWERS
Easy to look after
Hey there! I'm your new Crassula (Jade plant or Mney plant), and let me tell you, UK life can be a breeze for us succulents. Here's how to keep me plump and happy:
Sunshine, glorious sunshine! I love a bright, sunny spot. A south-facing window is perfect, but I'm okay with a little less light too. Just no dark corners, alright?
Water? I'm not too fussy. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Stick your finger in – if it's bone dry all the way down, then give me a good soak. Remember, underwatering is better than overwatering – I hate soggy roots! In winter, when things are cooler, I'll need water even less often.
Speaking of cool, I don't like it too chilly. Keep me away from drafts and that sneaky cold window at night. Aim for room temperature – just right, like porridge!
Treats are nice, but not too many. A little houseplant fertiliser during the summer months is great, but don't overdo it. I'm a simple soul, and fresh air is my favourite treat anyway!
There you have it! With some sunshine, occasional drinks, and a cosy spot, I'll be your happiest housemate. Now, let's get growing!
PHILODENDRON CARE TIPS
BY PASSION FOR FLOWERS
Truly Top-Notch houseplant
I know you love your new philodendron, and I want to help you see it thrive!
Here's some insider info on keeping it happy:
Light: Think bright, indirect sunlight. Imagine it basking in the glow near a sunny window, but not getting the harsh afternoon rays.
Water: We philodendrons don't like soggy feet! Water me only when the top inch of soil feels dry. Stick your finger in – if it comes out dry, it's watering time. In winter, I might need even less water, so listen to my soil.
Humidity: I love a little spa treatment! Misting me every few days, especially in drier weather, keeps my leaves happy and healthy. Grouping me with other humidity-loving plants can also help.
Food: I don't need a constant feast, but a monthly feeding during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer keeps me going strong.
That's the basic care! With a little love and attention, your philodendron will reward you with lush, beautiful foliage for years to come. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask – I'm always happy to chat plants!
