Choosing the Right Plant

Things to Consider When Bringing Home a New Plant
Choose the Right Plant for Your Space
Light is one of the most important factors in plant care. While watering and humidity can often be adjusted, selecting a plant that suits your space and lighting conditions will set you up for long-term success.
Plants Are Living Things
Every plant is unique and will adapt differently to its environment. Consistent care, patience, and observation all play a role in helping your plant thrive.
Care Routines Are Flexible
Plant care is never one-size-fits-all. Factors like temperature, humidity, airflow, and natural light can all affect your plant’s needs. Use care instructions as a guide and adjust based on your home and environment.
Healthy Plants Start Here
We take pride in offering healthy, carefully inspected plants. As an extra precaution, we recommend isolating new plants from your existing collection for approximately 21 days after bringing them home. This allows you to monitor for any potential pests and helps protect your other plants.
Avoid Drafts & Temperature Changes
Most houseplants prefer stable indoor temperatures. Avoid placing plants directly beside heating vents, air conditioners, or drafty windows where sudden temperature fluctuations may cause stress.
If your plant ever shows signs of distress, don’t hesitate to contact us — we’re always happy to help troubleshoot and support you along the way.

My colleagues and I had an amazing experience with Cheryl's hands-on, relaxing and educating virtual terrarium workshop. Not only did we learn to build our own succulent terrariums; we also received many tips and tricks around plant care. I would absolutely recommend Foliage for corporate events! The plants we received were beautifully curated for each person (note: we had 50 people at the virtual workshop)!

We hired Foliage for a planting workshop during our company's wellness week. Most of us are complete beginners when it comes to plants, but Cheryl's expertise and patient instruction put everyone at ease. She was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly, answering all our questions. Highly recommend Foliage for a fun and educational team-building activity!
