Poinsettias are the ultimate decoration for the holidays. Bringing beautiful pops of colours and sparking holiday cheer.🌟

Keep yours looking great by getting into habit of inspecting its leaves. If they're turning yellow or falling off, you're probably not watering it right. Much like the case with orchids, many flower enthusiasts mean well but they often overwater poinsettias when they only really need a little. You should water your poinsettia plant when the soil is noticeably dry. 
How to check? Carefully lift up the plant; if it feels light, it's time to water. Mini poinsettias should be checked every day. You can also water these plants by soaking them from below, which saturates the soil more than normal watering (one dip per week should do)
Sufficient light is important for the plant to grow and thrive (poinsettias prefer a light spot rather than full shade). The usual advice is to keep plants out of direct sunlight to protect their leaves from burning, but in the winter months this shouldn't be a problem.

8inch pots are available for $3000+ tax

Though it might be a tedious task, it's important that you clean residue from plant leaves on a regular basis. A layer of dust on the houseplant foliage will block sunlight and reduce the plant’s ability to photosynthesize. Photosynthesis is how the plant feeds itself. The best way to determine if a plant needs cleaning is to rub your fingers on the leaves. If you can feel or see more dust than you can blow off, it’s time to clean.

Introducing Philodendron Birkin!
These beautiful plants thrive from bright indirect light. You want to give your plant the feeling it’s under a tropical canopy. You have to mimic its’ natural habitat.
Direct sunlight for too long can cause leaves to start falling off. The plant will dry up fast and wilt away.
But too much shade is just as dangerous for your birkin plant. It can cause too much space between the leaves and the stems will start to sag.

Like most plants, you want moist soil so your philodendron birkin can soak up the hydration.
But you also want to avoid over-watering your plant so you can avoid that dreaded wet feet.
So, you want to wait until the soil is mostly (but not all) dry before you water it.
The best way to check the moisture is to place your finger into the soil. The soil that hits your knuckle and above should be dry before you water the plant.

Introducing Asystasia gangetica variegata aka Chinese Variegated Violet

 Asystasia is a fairly unpretentious plant. They do well in a bright place, and are not afraid of direct sunlight.
Asystasia is tolerant of many soil types, but optimal growth occurs in well-drained, but moist soils that are rich in compost. Young plants can be transplanted every year, adults every 2-3 years.
This plant likes to stay moist, so do not allow the soil to dry out completely.

Available in 4in pots for $600+ tax. Select your favourite plastic pot with detachable saucer for only $550!

Pink Syngonium flourishes under bright indirect light and well-drained soil that is moist and also thrive under high humidity. Prune lower leaves to maintain appearance. Moderate resistance to pests and diseases.

The evergreen houseplant has vines that want to spread and extend in all directions. But getting the vines pruned will make the plant to have a compact shape.
One of the favourite features is that Arrowhead vines are fast-growing indoor plant species. These plants can grow up to 3-6 ft tall and spread out up to 2 ft.
