Housewarming Plants: Care Guide
As we offer both options - to send the housewarming plant gift right to your door or directly to the giftee- below are some plant care considerations that can help you present your plant for new home thriving and in healthy condition.
Watering
Upon receipt of your new home gifts, check the soil with your finger; if the top couple of inches feel dry, give the plant a drink. Ensure excess water drains well; remove it before placing the grow pot into a decorative planter, as most houseplants don’t like wet feet. Overwatering your housewarming plant gifts can cause root rot and wilting or yellowing foliage. Avoid using tap water, as your plant for new home may be sensitive to the chemicals.
Light
Most houseplants require bright, filtered light to stay fresh and vibrant with healthy-looking foliage. Some varieties, however, especially variegated, need a few hours of gentle morning direct sunlight to maintain their colorful leaves. Never place your plants for housewarming gift in a dark room to prevent leaf drooping. Extreme low-light conditions are often harmful to most indoor plants.
Temperature
Ensure your housewarming plant gifts are placed in a warm spot, away from heaters and cold drafts, so they reach the giftee in optimal condition. Temperatures ranging from 65°F to 80°F are ideal. If you’re sending your new home gift plant directly to the recipient during cold weather, make sure to add on our winter packaging option for extra protection.
Humidity
Although most tropical plants thrive in higher humidity, they adapt well to regular indoor air moisture levels. Still, during extreme dry spells, a humidifier or pebble tray can help. Misting your housewarming plant gift a couple of days before giving it to the recipient is also an option.
