Quick Tips for the Collection

  • Succulents & Lithops: slow growers, compact, need excellent drainage; sun lovers.

  • Air Plants: keep them off soil, good airflow, occasional soak/mist, dramatic when hung above other plants.

  • Foliage: medium moisture, indirect light; Calathea likes humidity; Pothos & Peperomias are forgiving.

  • Grouping: For easiest care, cluster plants with similar light and watering needs together.
