Foliage Plants

Why Choose Foliage & Dish Gardens

• Low-maintenance elegance — Many foliage plants thrive in indirect light with moderate watering, making them ideal for busy households.
  
• Visual harmony in mini landscapes — Dish gardens bring multiple plants together in one shallow container, creating depth, texture, and visual interest.
  
• Health & wellbeing benefits — Indoor green plants can help improve air quality by filtering volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and increase humidity, supporting a healthier environment.
  
• Versatility for gifting — Foliage and dish gardens make excellent gifts for housewarmings, sympathy, office décor, or “thinking of you” moments.
  
• Long-term enjoyment — Unlike cut flowers, these living pieces can grow and evolve over time, giving value beyond a single day.

Care Tips for Foliage & Dish Gardens

1. Light

Place plants in bright, indirect light — avoid harsh direct sun that may scorch leaves. Many foliage plants tolerate lower light but thrive best with diffuse daylight.

2. Watering

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering — dish gardens especially need proper drainage to prevent root rot. Water individual plants carefully in dish gardens rather than saturating the entire container.

3. Container & Drainage

Use shallow, lined containers for dish gardens. Incorporate drainage material or a liner to allow excess water to drain away from roots.

4. Plant Compatibility

In dish gardens, combine plants that have similar light and moisture needs. Mismatched requirements often lead to problems.

5. Occasional grooming

Trim off yellowing or dead leaves to keep your plants looking fresh. Rotate dish gardens occasionally to promote even growth.

6. Environment

Maintain a stable indoor environment. Avoid placing plants in harsh drafts, near HVAC vents, or in extreme temperature zones.
