You don’t need a green thumb to keep your plant healthy and thriving – in fact, you don’t need to do much at all. With just a little attention to appropriate lighting, watering, and temperature, your plant will be a beautiful reminder of the person who gave it to you for many months to come.
Remember when you are caring for a plant in your home or office, to move it to a sink or water safe area. Water the plant and allow excess water to run out the bottom of the pot into a sink, bucket or saucer.
Prune leaves or blossoms that are past their prime and do not allow dropped leaves or debris to collect on top of the soil inside the pot to decrease the chance of pests or diseases.
To make your plant shine, wipe the leaves with a soft, damp cloth and then return the plant to its pot and then to its setting.
