🌱 How to Take Care – Tillandsia kautskyi (Air Plant):
Mist or soak 2–3 times weekly; dry quickly within an hour to prevent rot. Mount on wood or stone—no soil needed. Needs medium to bright, indirect light—no harsh sun. Thrives at 50–90°F (10–32°C) and moderate–high humidity. Fertilize 1–2 times/month in summer with bromeliad fertilizer.
🏡 Optimal Placement:
Near a bright window, terrarium, or mounted display—good airflow essential.
⚡ Growth Tips:
Turn upside down to let water drain after soaking. Reduce watering in winter or dormancy.

🌱 How to Take Care – ZZ Plant:
Water only when the soil is completely dry—typically every 2–3 weeks. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Prefers medium to bright indirect light, but adapts to low light. Thrives at 60–75°F (16–24°C) and typical indoor humidity. Avoid overwatering; yellow leaves mean too much water.
🏡 Optimal Placement:
Desks, corners, or shelves with any light level; avoid direct sun and cold drafts.
⚡ Growth Tips:
Fertilize once a month in spring/summer with diluted feed. Wipe leaves for shine, prune yellow stems, propagate by division or leaf cuttings. Toxic if ingested.

Prefers bright, indirect light (protect from strong sun); tolerates low light. Thrives at 65–85°F (18–29°C); loves moderate humidity. Fertilize monthly in spring/summer. Repot every 2–3 years. Toxic if ingested.
🏡 Optimal Placement:
Low-to-moderate light rooms, office, or shaded windowsill; avoid drafts.

🌱 How to Take Care – Dendrobium senile:
Water frequently in summer—once daily if mounted—ensuring the medium dries rapidly between waterings. In winter, reduce water and let roots dry more. Grows best in loose, quick-draining medium or mounted on cork, with root exposure and high humidity (75–80% in summer, down to 60% in winter). Bright, indirect light with strong air movement. Ideal at 65–88°F (18–31°C) by day, cooler at night. Fertilize regularly in growth and stop in winter.
🏡 Optimal Placement:
Bright, steamy bathroom, terrarium, or airy greenhouse.
⚡ Growth Tips:
Repot/move only when new roots appear; trim old canes after blooming.

🌱 How to Take Care – Euphorbia hypogaea:
Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings; water sparingly even during growth, even less in winter. Use cactus potting soil with extra perlite for drainage. Loves full sun to bright, direct windows; tolerates strong artificial light. Thrives at 65–80°F (18–27°C) with dry air. Fertilize once a month in spring–summer. Handle with care—milky sap is toxic and can irritate skin.
🏡 Optimal Placement:
Brightest windowsill or well-lit shelf.
⚡ Growth Tips:
Repot every 2–3 years. Propagate by stem or leaf cuttings.

Thrives at 65–80°F (18–27°C) with high humidity. Mist several times weekly or use a humidifier to prevent dry leaf drop. Fertilize monthly in spring/summer with balanced liquid feed. Prune in spring for bushiness. Toxic if ingested.
🏡 Optimal Placement:
Bright living rooms away from foot traffic, drafts, and strong afternoon sun.
⚡ Growth Tips:
Rotate plant for even growth; avoid frequent moves as leaf drop follows.
