Planter Care Tips

Bolivian Dish Garden

Your Bolivian Dish Garden combines hardy tropical foliage with elegant natural accents for a lush, lasting display. With simple care, it will thrive indoors and bring enduring greenery to any space.

• Prefers bright, indirect light but will also tolerate moderate indoor light.
• Avoid placing in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

• Check the soil weekly and water when the top inch feels dry to the touch.
• Water thoroughly, then allow excess moisture to drain.
• Do not let water stand in the saucer — these tropical plants prefer evenly moist but not soggy soil.
• The phalaenopsis orchid stem is a fresh-cut accent; once it fades, you can simply remove it to keep the garden looking neat.

• Ideal temperature range: 65–80°F.
• Protect from cold drafts or direct heat sources.
• Normal household humidity is sufficient, but occasional misting can keep foliage looking vibrant.

• Feed monthly during spring and summer using a general-purpose houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.
• Hold off fertilizing during fall and winter when plant growth slows.

• Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to encourage new growth and maintain a fresh appearance.
• Wipe dust from leaves occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to help them breathe and absorb light.
• Refresh decorative accents like bamboo or river rocks if they shift during watering.

With proper care, your Bolivian Dish Garden will remain a lush, low-maintenance display of tropical beauty for months to come — even after the orchid stem has shared its moment of color.

Peruvian Dish Garden

Your Peruvian Dish Garden combines several easy-care tropical plants with a blooming orchid and bromeliad. With just a little attention, it will thrive indoors and bring long-lasting color and greenery.

• Place in bright, indirect light.
• Avoid direct sun, which may scorch leaves or shorten blooms.

• Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, keeping soil evenly moist but never soggy.
• Empty any excess water from the saucer after watering.
• For the bromeliad and orchid: add a small amount of water into the central cup (bromeliad) and water the orchid lightly around the roots. Avoid leaving water standing for too long.

• Thrives in normal indoor temperatures (65–80°F).
• Keep away from drafts, heating vents, or cold air.
• Extra humidity is beneficial but not required.

• Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer, diluted to half strength.
• For the orchid and bromeliad, you may use a specialized orchid/bromeliad fertilizer every 4-6 weeks.

• Remove yellowing leaves to keep plants looking fresh.
• Trim spent maranta or pothos leaves as needed.
• When orchid blooms fade, snip the flower spike just above a node to encourage possible rebloom, or cut at the base once it dries out.
• Bromeliads typically bloom once; new shoots (“pups”) will grow around the base — you can keep them in the arrangement or separate to start new plants.

With proper care, your Peruvian Dish Garden will provide lasting greenery and seasonal blooms to enjoy for months to come.

• Bright, indirect light is best.

• Keep soil lightly moist; water when top soil feels dry. Empty excess from saucer.

• Normal indoor range (65–80°F).

• Monthly in spring/summer, half-strength fertilizer.

• Remove spent orchid blooms or old leaves to keep fresh.

Holiday Planter

Your Holiday Planter is a living centerpiece designed to bring color and cheer throughout the festive season. Follow these simple steps to keep it looking fresh:

• Place in bright, indirect light near a window.
• Avoid direct sunlight, which may cause leaves to fade, and keep away from heating vents or cold drafts.

• Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
• Each plant has slightly different needs:
  • Poinsettia: Keep evenly moist — don’t let the soil dry completely.
  • Norfolk Pine: Prefers slightly drier conditions; water less frequently.
  • Mini Rose Bush: Check more often, as roses dry out faster when blooming.
• Always drain excess water from the saucer to prevent root rot.

• Ideal temperature range: 65-75°F.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes or cold drafts.
• Normal indoor humidity is fine; occasional misting helps roses and pine stay vibrant.

• Remove any faded blooms or leaves to encourage new growth and maintain a tidy look.
• Rotate the planter every few days for even light exposure.
• Decorative pinecones and glitter accents can remain for the season, or be refreshed to suit your décor.

• The poinsettia may last for weeks with good care, and the Norfolk pine and mini rose can continue as houseplants if desired. Replant or separate them after the holidays to extend their life beyond the season.

Winter Garden

Your Winter Garden is a living celebration of the holidays — combining fragrance, blooms, and festive color. With simple care, it will stay fresh and vibrant throughout the season.

• Prefers bright, indirect light.
• A few hours of morning sun are fine, but avoid harsh midday rays.
• Turn the planter every few days for even growth.

• Check the soil regularly and water when the top inch feels dry.
• Water thoroughly, then allow excess to drain.
• Each plant has slightly different needs: 
  • Poinsettia: Keep soil lightly moist.
  • Rosemary Tree: Needs good drainage — never let it sit in water.
  • Mini Rose: Water a bit more often while flowering.
  • Kalanchoe: Allow top soil to dry slightly between waterings; avoid overwatering.

• Ideal temperature range: 65–75°F.
• Avoid placing near drafts, fireplaces, or heating vents.
• Normal indoor humidity is fine; rosemary enjoys slightly drier air, while roses appreciate moderate humidity.

• Remove any faded blooms or leaves to keep the arrangement fresh.
• Prune rosemary lightly if it begins to stretch or dry.
• Dust or gently wipe leaves as needed to maintain a healthy shine.
• Decorative pinecones and glitter accents can stay for the season or be refreshed to match your decor.

• The poinsettia will last for weeks with proper care.
• The rosemary and kalanchoe can continue as houseplants — or be planted outdoors in warm weather.
• The mini rose can also be transplanted to a pot or garden once the season ends.
