ULTRA SHORT GUIDE (for more advice head to our plant care page)

​

“Got me a plant from foliage factory, what now?!”

 

• Carefully unpack the plant

• Check the roots, stems and leaves for any transport damage, remove if necessary.

• For the first few weeks keep the plant you receive from us exclusively in sphagnum moss (the amount we send to you in the pot is definitely enough to get the plant through the first week

• The sphagnum moss you keep your plant in should be very loosely packed in the pot, very fluffy and allowing for a lot of air circulation

• The sphagnum moss your plant is in, should always be kept just slightly moist and never wet for longer periods of time, this can lead to root rot very quickly.

• Make sure that the plant is in an environment with high-air-humidity (ideally over 65%, 70% and higher)

• Make sure the plant receives enough light, no direct sunlight

• Feed your plant with a diluted vitamin solution. They love it after transport.

• Make sure the plant is in a well-ventilated space, even if it is a terrarium or a greenhouse

• When you notice fresh root growth (1-2cm) on your plant, you can either replant it to a bigger container to your favourite mix or more sphagnum

• DON’T repot your plant in soil, mix, or hydro straight after you receive it. Give it some time to get over the transport shock

• DON’T OVERWATER the plant. Just because it’s been in a box for a few days, does not mean it needs to be droned. Enough light and air humidity is more important at this stage.

• Don’t be scared, experiment, have fun. Don’t give up. Plants are unbelievably resilient.
