Houseplant Care Instructions for Moisture-Loving Tropicals

Houseplant Care Instructions for Moisture-Loving Tropicals

Sep 07, 2023Anna Johnston

Moisture-Loving Tropicals is a plant category on the Jungle & Loom Plant Care Care that includes plants like:  Varieties of Begonia, Calathea, Fern, Fittonia, and Maranta 

Light for your Moisture-Loving Tropicals:  

  • Medium to low indirect light.  Plants in this family would prefer no bright light.    
  • Most will tolerate low light, but lower light will mean they grow more slowly.  Medium light is ideal.  

 

Water for your Moisture-Loving Tropicals:  

  • For plants in 4" and 6" pots - Water when top 1 inch of the soil is completely dry. 
  • For plants in 8" and 10" pots - Water when the top 2-3 inches of the soil is completely dry.
  • These plants really do not like to dry out, so erring on the side of continuously moist soil (but not soaking wet) is key for their ability to thrive.
