Aloes are loved by all for their healing properties. Their leaves contain a gel-like nectar that can be used to treat sunburns, mild burns, and skin irritations. To stay healthy, aloe plants need bright, indirect sunlight. Aloe plants grow best in well-draining soil. We recommend a commercial potting mix for indoor plants, or you can feel free to make your own by mixing equal parts sand, peat moss, and perlite. Gardening soil is not a good choice. Aloe plants are succulents, so they don’t need a lot of water, as they will begin to rot with overwatering. We typically recommend watering these every third week of the month. 

Wandering dude plants have green, heart-shaped leaves with purple stripes and a silvery sheen to them. This houseplant thrives in bright indirect light. The brighter the light you provide, the more bright the foliage. If it’s not getting enough light, the foliage will begin to fade. Ideal temperatures for your inch plant are above 65°F. We recommend watering these plants once a week, but be sure to check the soil. Speaking of soil, we recommend an indoor potting mix, that contains organic matter such as peat moss or perlite to encourage growth. These are a favorite to propagate by taking a cutting a placing it in a mason jar with water. We carry these in hanging baskets but feel free to transplant them at your leisure. 

Spider plants get its common name from the small offspring produced on long trailing stems that vaguely resemble spiders, as seen in the picture. These are our simplest houseplants to care for. Place these plants in bright to moderate light in a room that is above 60°F. Be sure to water these once a week in the spring and summer. During the winter, you can get away with watering these once a month. Spider plants are easy to propagate, you simply put the “spiders” or plantlets into their own pots. We carry these in hanging baskets.

This creeping plant can be grown outside as an annual in warmer months or year-round as a houseplant. The care here is listed for caring for the plant indoors.  This ivy prefers moderate light as direct sunlight may result in wilting and scorched leaves. We recommend watering these once a week in the summer and spring, and every other week in the winter. These will prefer well-draining soil, like a commercial indoor potting mix. Swedish Ivy prefers temperatures above 60°. If temperatures reach above 75°, more watering may be required. These are very easy to propagate. We carry the Swedish ivy in hanging baskets. 

If you plan to keep our English Fern outside, be sure to keep it out of direct sunlight and water it daily. If you plan to keep it inside, be sure to keep it in a more bright-lit area to encourage growth. These will require waterings once a week in the spring and summer and biweekly watering in the winter. As these are a humid-loving plant, when grown inside they will do best near a common-used facet. You can also mist them to encourage growth. We carry these in hanging baskets.
