WHETHER YOU’VE BEEN a diligent plant parent or you’ve gotten a
little lax tending to your greenery, things can and will go wrong. When
dealing with the natural world some things are beyond our control and
it’s important to learn from mistakes. Each experience adds to your
plant knowledge and will help you tackle any future issues. Observation
is key; not just checking in with your plants, but looking at how they
respond to water and light, as well as noticing any changes in growth. A

DAY-TO-DAY CARE General plant
maintenance is important for giving your
plants the best chance to thrive. Keep
leaves clean and free from dust by wiping
over leaves with a damp cloth. White oil
(also known as Neem oil) is good to have
on hand for spraying and glossing up
leaves, and it can help keep plants free
from pests that might attack their leaves.
