START SMART / 01

Three checks before your first plant

  1. OBS-01

    Match light before variety

    A bright window plant in a dim corner will struggle. Read the LUX line on each card first.

  2. OBS-02

    Water less than you think

    Most beginners overwater. Wait until the top soil feels dry, then water thoroughly.

  3. OBS-03

    One plant, then expand

    Learn one easy species well. Visit Causeway Bay to compare real sizes before buying more.

FIELD FAQ / 02

Beginner questions we hear in store

Which beginner plants suit Hong Kong flats?

Start with forgiving foliage that tolerates general indoor or window-side light. Check each product card’s care specs, or WhatsApp a window photo for 2–3 picks.

How often should I water a starter plant?

There is no fixed calendar. Let the top soil dry slightly, then water thoroughly and empty any standing water in the saucer. Specs are on every card.

Can I visit before buying?

Yes. Walk into our Causeway Bay showroom to compare leaf condition and pot size. No booking needed during opening hours.
