An exciting mix of different growth habits awaits you in your box. From upright-growing classics to elegant trailing vines, everything is possible. Since the Surprise Box contains plants in different stages of development, you can watch your little jungle change and grow every day. The variety of leaf colors and textures makes this set a real design element.
The right location for your plant mix
Where do the new roommates feel most at home?
Since the box combines different species, it is recommended to group the plants briefly after unpacking. However, most houseplants have similar basic needs:
- Light: A bright spot without direct, scorching midday sun is ideal for almost all plants in the mix.
- Temperature: Constant room temperatures between 18 and 24 °C promote healthy growth.
- Avoiding drafts: Make sure that sensitive species are not standing directly in a cold draft.
Care & watering: Maintaining your surprise box correctly
Recognizing individual needs
When caring for your Surprise Box, the finger test is your best friend. Before you reach for the watering can, check whether the top layer of soil has dried out. While succulents in the mix require very little water, large-leaved tropical plants appreciate consistent moisture. It is best to use room-temperature, stale water.
Typical problems & solutions
What to do if a plant is struggling?
If a plant develops yellow leaves, it is often due to overwatering or a location that is too dark. Brown leaf tips, on the other hand, are usually a sign of dry heating air. Since the plants in the Surprise Box often have different requirements, it helps to simply move the struggling ones to a different spot or adjust your watering habits.
🌿 Tip: Group plants with similar humidity requirements together. Standing together creates a microclimate that reduces evaporation and keeps all inhabitants more vital.
Prevention & long-term care
To keep your plant collection healthy in the long term, you should supply them with a liquid houseplant fertilizer every two to four weeks during the growing season. To support plant health and prevent pests, you can regularly treat the leaves with natural care products to strengthen their natural resistance.
