RED CHINESE EVERGREEN
Aglaonema Red Siam
Aglaonemas are adaptable, slow growing plants that any plant novice or expert can enjoy. They tend to bounce back from neglect and their humidity and water requirements are low. What more could you ask for? Most aglaonemas are known to tolerate low-light. However the Aglaonema Red Siam requires bright, indirect-light to maintain their brilliant red hue. Aglaonemas are very slow growing and only need to be repotted every 2-3 years. Aglaonemas also contain calcium oxalate crystals that when consumed can cause severe irritation to the gastro-intestinal tract. Earning it the moniker the 'Poison Dart Plant'.

CACTI, ASSORTED
Cactaceae
Cacti can make great houseplants, provided they get enough sunlight! Cacti are desert plants, thus are accustomed to direct sunlight and periods of drought. They have adapted by storing water to supply them in these periods. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water less frequently in the winter, as they enter dormancy during this time. Proper drainage is key when it comes to Cacti. Be sure to repot with succulent and cacti potting mix in with a drainage hole.

The Calathea and Maranta families have what most consider to be the most beautiful species of plants. The Pinstripe Calathea is no exception; with its pink veins mimicking careful brushstrokes.

Place your Calathea on a pebble tray filled with water to increase humidity or invest in a humidifier. As for placement, a spot near a bright window is ideal. As too much sun will cause them to burn but too little and they will lose their vibrant hue.

SUCCULENTS, ASSORTED
Succulentus
The Latin term Succulentus roughly translates to "sap" or "juice." Succulents in the simplest terms are plants that store moisture in their roots, stems, and leaves; making them very drought tolerant! While some have specific needs (Lithops for example!) a good rule of thumb is the thicker the leaves, the less frequently it should be watered. This is not to say you should give it less water. Always water your succulents thoroughly, as you would any other plant!

AIR PLANTS
Tillandsia
Air Plants are what we call epiphytes. Epiphytes are plants that grow on another host, most commonly a tree. Unlike other plants, they do not receive nutrients from this host; but from the air. In general Air Plants need bright, indirect light to flourish. Those with smaller, more sliver toned leaves will need more light than those with larger, greener leaves. Avoid direct sunlight, as these can cause them to burn! There are two appropriate methods of watering your Air Plants. The first is to spritz them once or twice a week (depending on their size) with filtered water. Give them a good shower when you do! The other method is to let them sit in filtered water for approximately 10 minutes.
