Plant Care Guide

Master the four fundamentals — water, light, temperature, and humidity — and your plants will thrive.

Watering

→Check soil moisture before watering — stick your finger 2 cm in. If dry, water thoroughly.
→Water less in winter when plants grow slowly. Most plants need 50% less water in cooler months.
→Always use room-temperature water. Cold water shocks tropical roots.
→Water at the base, not over leaves, to prevent fungal issues.

Light

→Bright indirect light suits most tropical houseplants — near a window but away from direct rays.
→Low-light plants tolerate dim conditions but still need some natural light to survive.
→Rotate your pot 90° every two weeks for even, upright growth.
→Pale or yellow leaves often mean too little light; burnt spots mean too much.

Temperature

→Most houseplants thrive between 18–24 °C. Avoid placing them near air-conditioning vents.
→Keep away from cold draughts and open windows in winter.
→In the Tunisian summer, protect plants from temperatures above 35 °C, especially in direct sun.
→Tropical plants hate sudden temperature changes — move them carefully.

Humidity

→Tropical plants love humidity. Group plants together to create a humid microclimate.
→Mist leaves in the morning — never at night, as damp leaves overnight invite disease.
→A pebble tray filled with water beneath the pot provides steady ambient humidity.
→In dry climates, a small humidifier near your plant collection makes a visible difference.
