Green Plants
Our lush leafy green plants are selected for their ability to last long and live strong for months and years to come. A green plant is a wonderful, natural accent for any indoor space.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera looks great, but also possess special healing powers as well. Just break off a piece of the Aloe Vera and rub the natural gel into small cuts, scratches or sunburns, and you'll experience great relief.
Care Instructions
Water: Hydrate your Aloe Vera thoroughly, but allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. We recommend watering soaking the plant, pot and all, in a bucket or sink filled with about an inch of water for about 1 hour once a week or so.
Location: Place in bright light and avoid frost.
Fertilizer: You can fertilize your succulent garden once a month, using an all-purpose brand. Use the fertilizer at half strength.
Chinese Evergreen

Water: Water regularly. Keep moist. Do not allow to become soggy. Stunted growth or rotten stalks are a sign or overwatering.
Grooming:To keep the plant leafy and full, periodically cut the stalks and remove blooms when they die. Pull new growth out from center to maintain compact growth.

Mother in Law Tongue
The perfect plant for black thumbs is also prized for its unique shape. This Mother In Law Tongue needs practically no attention! Give them some light and a bit of water every now and then, and they'll grow and grow. Also called the bathroom plant.

Pothos
The pothos thrives in almost any indoor conditions, and grows so fast you can notice the difference every few days. Let the vines trail up around windows, cubicles and bookshelves for an indoor jungle effect, or pinch back vines to allow the Pothos to grow into a lush bush.
Water: Do not over-water! Too much water will kill your plant, too little is no problem. If you water too little, your plant's leaves will start to dry out, brown and brittle, and all of the soil will be like dust. Just dump one third of a cup once a week, making sure the top inch of soil is dry.
Location: This plant is low maintaince - it can live under florescent lights or in a bathroom. Some indirect sunlight is best, but don't worry about giving it more light unless the leaves start to pale.
Grooming: Pothos offers options. Pinch back the leaves at the end of each stem to make your plant lush and bushy. Pull the leaves off along the stems to make it "race," making it long and stringy. Experiment according to the desired effect - and don't be afraid to cut the whole thing way back.
Fertilizer: If you want to, a heavily diluted dose of fertilizer mixed in with the water every 6 weeks will keep your plant at maximum growth.
