blooming flower arrangement, custom

Blooming Arrangement

Our blooming arrangements are designed to bring life, color, and joy into your home. With simple, consistent care, they will remain fresh and vibrant for weeks.

Light
Place in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can cause flowers to fade and stress plants.

Water
Check soil regularly and water when the top 2 inches feel dry. Water thoroughly, but never allow the arrangement to sit in standing water.

Plant Variety
Arrangements contain a mix of blooming and green plants. Some blooms will naturally finish before others — simply remove spent flowers to keep the arrangement looking fresh.

Potted Houseplant

Each houseplant is unique, but these general guidelines support long-term success for most indoor plants.

Light
Follow the care card included with your plant. Place in appropriate light conditions — full sun, bright indirect light, or low light depending on variety.

Water
Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings. Check moisture by inserting your finger 1–2 inches into the soil to make sure it’s dry before watering.

Fertilizer
Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Pause feeding during fall and winter.

Succulent Garden

Succulent gardens are designed for low-maintenance beauty and long-term enjoyment.

Light
Place in bright light with some direct sun exposure. Keep temperatures above 55°F.

Water
Water thoroughly only when soil is fully dry. Avoid frequent light watering.

Soil & Drainage
Well-draining soil and proper drainage are essential. If the container has no drainage, water sparingly and allow soil to dry completely.

Fertilizer
Feed lightly every 8–10 weeks during active growth. Do not fertilize in winter.

Herb Garden

Herb gardens bring life, fragrance, and function into your home or garden.

Light
Place in a sunny location with several hours of direct light daily.

Temperature
Protect herbs from cold temperatures. Most culinary herbs prefer warmth and cannot tolerate frost.

Water
Water regularly in well-draining soil. Keep soil moist but not saturated. Avoid wetting foliage when possible.

Harvesting & Trimming
Frequent harvesting encourages bushier growth and prevents flowering.

Fertilizer
Use organic fertilizer for edible plants to support healthy, productive growth.
