#moderate light

Perfect for eastern or northern exposure, these tropical plants don’t enjoy the direct rays of the sun, but absolutely love humidity. With their multicoloured foliage, they are sure to be a little bright light in any space!

Furthermore, the Sansevieria Laurentii variety is a great plant to consider for improving the air quality in your home!

This beauty is very easy to care for and loves an environment with bright, natural indirect light. Water only when the top-inch of soil is dry and remove any excess, standing water after about 15 minutes to prevent rotting the roots over time. For some TLC, it is a good idea to gently wipe the leaves of the ficus using water and a soft cloth to remove dust from its foliage.

This plant thrives in an environment with high humidity and bright, moderate light (no direct sunlight). In general, they prefer their soil to be consistently moist, but will tolerate drying out a little bit at the surface (be careful not to let the soil dry out completely). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ CARE TIP: We would recommend carefully checking your Alocasia plants regularly for pests such as spider mites. These unfortunate little pests thrive in dry conditions and are often identified through the webbing they produce. Therefore, some find it helpful to keep them at bay by either misting the plant often (if their space is not humid enough) or by delicately wiping the leaves of the plant regularly with a damp cloth to prevent any accumulation of dust.

Aglaonemas will happily live in humid environments, with either moderate light (bright indirect light) or partial shade. However, they can also survive in areas with just artificial, fluorescent lighting, which is often found in office spaces (yay for office plants!). Furthermore, they would prefer not to have their foliage under the direct rays of the sun or next to any areas that would expose it to drafts of cold/hot air.

We would also recommend taking the time to wipe the leaves of Alocasia plants regularly with a damp cloth as this helps to prevent the accumulation of dust on the leaves and to an extent the dry environment in which spider mites (a common pest of this plant) would thrive.
