At We Greens, we believe that bringing a plant home is just the beginning. Proper care helps your plant adjust to its new environment and grow healthy over time.
Since every plant and growing environment is different, the following information is intended as general guidance. Always refer to the specific care instructions provided on the relevant product page where available.
1. Give Your Plant Time to Adjust
Plants may experience some stress after transportation and delivery.
You may notice:
- Slight drooping
- Leaf bending
- Temporary loss of freshness
- Minor foliage changes
This can be a normal part of transportation and acclimatization.
Place the plant in a suitable environment and give it some time to adjust before making major changes to its care routine.
2. Light
Light is one of the most important factors for healthy plant growth.
Different plants require different levels of light.
Depending on the plant, it may prefer:
- Bright indirect light
- Moderate light
- Low-light conditions
- Direct morning sunlight
- Outdoor sunlight
Always check the individual product’s recommended light requirement before deciding where to place it.
Avoid sudden changes
If a plant has been kept in low or indirect light, avoid immediately placing it under harsh direct sunlight.
Gradually introduce stronger light where appropriate.
3. Watering
There is no single watering schedule that works for every plant.
Water requirements depend on:
- Plant variety
- Pot size
- Soil type
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Light
- Season
- Indoor/outdoor conditions
Before watering, check the soil according to the plant’s specific requirements.
Avoid following a fixed watering schedule blindly.
Important
Overwatering is one of the common causes of plant problems.
Make sure excess water can drain properly from the pot.
4. Drainage
Proper drainage is essential for most potted plants.
Where the pot is designed with a drainage hole:
- Ensure the hole is not blocked.
- Allow excess water to drain.
- Avoid allowing the plant to sit continuously in stagnant water.
Poor drainage can lead to root-related problems.
5. Soil
Different plants require different soil conditions.
A suitable growing medium should generally provide:
- Adequate drainage
- Appropriate moisture retention
- Air circulation around the roots
- Nutrient support
Use the soil or growing medium recommended for the particular plant wherever specific guidance is provided.
6. Fertilizer
Plants require nutrients for healthy growth, but fertilizer should be used according to the plant’s requirements.
Avoid excessive fertilization.
The appropriate:
- Fertilizer type
- Quantity
- Frequency
can vary depending on the plant, growing medium and season.
Follow the care instructions provided for the specific plant whenever available.
7. Temperature
Different plants have different temperature preferences.
Protect plants from conditions that may be unsuitable for their variety, including:
- Extreme heat
- Extreme cold
- Frost
- Sudden temperature changes
- Hot air from heaters
- Direct exposure to strong heat sources
Indoor plants should generally be kept away from direct heat or cooling vents where appropriate.
8. Humidity
Some plants prefer higher humidity, while others tolerate normal indoor conditions.
Humidity requirements depend on the plant variety.
For plants that require higher humidity, appropriate measures may include:
- Grouping compatible plants
- Using suitable humidity-supporting methods
- Keeping plants away from excessively dry airflow
Always follow the plant-specific recommendations.
9. Pruning
Pruning may help maintain the appearance and health of some plants.
Remove clearly:
- Dead leaves
- Severely damaged foliage
- Dead stems
Use clean tools when pruning.
Do not remove healthy foliage unnecessarily.
10. Repotting
Plants may eventually outgrow their existing pots.
Signs that a plant may need repotting can include:
- Roots becoming severely crowded
- Roots growing through drainage holes
- Soil drying unusually quickly
- Plant becoming unstable
- Growth becoming restricted
However, repotting should not be done immediately unless required.
Allow a newly delivered plant time to acclimatize before making major changes wherever possible.
11. Cleaning Leaves
Dust can accumulate on indoor plant leaves.
Where appropriate, gently clean leaves using a suitable method for the plant.
Avoid harsh chemicals or aggressive rubbing that may damage delicate foliage.
12. Pest Monitoring
Regularly check your plants for signs of:
- Insects
- Webbing
- Sticky residue
- Discoloured leaves
- Unusual spots
- Sudden leaf damage
Early identification can make plant problems easier to manage.
Use plant-safe pest-control methods appropriate for the specific plant and situation.
13. Seasonal Changes
Plant requirements can change throughout the year.
For example:
- Watering requirements may change with temperature.
- Growth may slow during certain seasons.
- Flowering may be seasonal.
- Light availability may change.
- Humidity may vary.
Adjust your care routine according to the plant and current environmental conditions.
14. Indoor Plant Placement
When placing indoor plants, consider:
- Available natural light
- Air circulation
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Distance from air conditioners
- Distance from heaters
- Accessibility for watering
- Space for future growth
Choose a location appropriate for the specific plant.
15. Outdoor Plant Placement
For outdoor plants, consider:
- Sun exposure
- Rain
- Wind
- Temperature
- Drainage
- Available growing space
Not every outdoor plant can tolerate full sun, and not every plant can tolerate heavy rain or strong wind.
Always follow plant-specific requirements.
16. After Delivery: Simple First Steps
When your plant arrives:
Step 1
Carefully unpack the plant.
Step 2
Check its overall condition.
Step 3
Place it in a suitable location according to its light requirements.
Step 4
Allow it to acclimatize.
Step 5
Water only according to its specific requirements and soil condition.
Step 6
Avoid unnecessary repotting, fertilizing or pruning immediately unless required.
Step 7
Observe the plant over the next few days and adjust care as necessary.
17. What If the Plant Looks Droopy?
Do not panic.
A plant may temporarily droop after transportation because of:
- Movement during transit
- Temperature changes
- Reduced light
- Transportation stress
- Change in environment
Give the plant an appropriate environment and follow its specific care requirements.
If you notice significant physical damage rather than normal transit stress, please contact We Greens according to our Cancellation, Return & Refund Policy.
18. What If Leaves Turn Yellow?
Yellowing leaves can have multiple causes, including:
- Overwatering
- Underwatering
- Insufficient light
- Natural ageing
- Temperature stress
- Nutrient issues
- Other plant-specific factors
Do not immediately assume that the plant is defective.
Review the plant’s specific care requirements and environmental conditions.
19. Plant-Specific Care Instructions
Where available, each We Greens plant product may include specific care information such as:
Light: Recommended light conditions
Water: Recommended watering approach
Soil: Suitable soil/growing medium
Fertilizer: Recommended feeding guidance
Temperature: Suitable temperature conditions
Always prioritize the specific care information provided for the plant over general guidance.
20. Plant Care and Replacement Policy
Following the Plant Care Guide does not guarantee a specific growth rate, flowering result or long-term survival.
Plant growth depends on environmental conditions and ongoing care.
Our Cancellation, Return & Refund Policy applies separately to eligible product damage, defects, wrong products and other qualifying issues.
Normal plant-care challenges after delivery do not automatically qualify for return or refund.
21. Important Note
Every plant is different.
The best care routine depends on the plant variety and its environment.
When in doubt, check the specific product’s care instructions or contact the We Greens team for general guidance.
