How to Care for Rare and Unique Plants (Bullet Points)

For the healthy growth of rare and unique plants, understanding each plant's needs is recommended. However, some basic care guidance for plant optimal growth is as follows:

What To Do:

• Give each plant the right amount of bright, indirect, or low light. Bright, indirect light is best for most succession plants. However, some rare and unique plants can tolerate low light.


• Allow the top inch of soil to dry completely before watering again.


• To support a healthy root system, water the root ball evenly and avoid water accumulating in the pot.


• Use a soil mix that drains well, or make your own by crumbling plain potting soil with sand and organic material.


• Many rare plants like humidity. For optimal humidity in dry or low humid conditions, regularly spritz the air, lay a tray with water and stones nearby, or use a humidifier.


• The ideal temperature range of most unique and rare plants is 65 to 90°F (18 to 32°C).


• Fertilise throughout the plant's active growth. Use a well-balanced fertiliser diluted to half-strength in spring and summer while the plants are growing.


• Monitor your plants for pests. Check for growth or issues and adapt your care routine.


• Catching and treating pest or disease issues on one plant helps prevent them from spreading.


• Clean and maintain plants and their surroundings.


• Do repotting every 1–2 years or when the plant gets root-bound. If the plant has dried out or rotted from too much water, you may need to repot.

What To Avoid:

• Overwatering and underwatering your rare and unique plant are two common errors to avoid.


• Next, shield your plants from severe temperatures. This means no drafts, cold snaps, or extreme heat.


• Avoid overfertilization to avoid root burning and plant damage. Overnutrition can cause root burns and harm the plant.


• Don’t avoid dusting of dirt on the plant’s leaves. Too much dust might clog the plant's stomata, the microscopic apertures on the undersides of leaves, making it impossible to breathe.


• Don’t avoid the plant’s poor health. Poor plant health indicates pests or illnesses. Pests may ruin even the best gardening. Observe to catch and address them early.
