Plant Care
Terrarium Care
Light
Make sure your succulent gets a minimum of four (4) hours of indirect sunlight or fluorescent light per day.
Water
Only water your succulent when the soil is dry to the touch.
Use a straw or spray bottle to avoid over-watering.
Use about 1–2 tablespoons of water per succulent
Water only every two (2) weeks.
Try watering only with tap or rainwater, which contain high levels of dissolved minerals essential for a healthy succulent. Avoid watering with distilled water.
Pruning / Replacing
Gently remove any leaves which have naturally dried out.
Replace any succulents which have outgrown the terrarium. Succulents tend to grow very quickly in direct sunlight.
What to do if:
Shriveled leaves - it is thirsty! Time to give it some water.
Flimsy, pale leaves and growing tall - it is too dark. Your succulent is searching for more light. Time to relocate it to a spot with more indirect light.
Brown / discolored leaves - it is thirsty and/or getting too much sun. Time to gently water it and relocate it to a spot with indirect light.
Mushy, yellow, or blackened leaves - the succulent is getting too much water. If the plant is rotting, remove it and replace it with a new succulent.
Although it is true that succulents require very minimal maintenance, they can still react negatively to extremes of water and light.

Air Plant Care
Light
Place your air plant globe in indirect sunlight or fluorescent light.
Water
Gently spray the air plant twice a week with a spray bottle.
Every two (2) weeks, soak your air plant in room temperature tap water (or rain water) for 5 - 10 minutes.
After soaking, gently shake excess water from the air plant and return to the globe.
What to do if:
Brown or crispy leaf tips - the air plant is thirsty! Show it some love and give it a nice soak in room temperature water for 5-10 minutes.
A base that is turning brown or black and/or the leaves in the center are falling off - we've got some bad news...your air plant was over watered and is rotting. But It’s okay, everybody makes mistakes! Remove the rotting plant and replace it with a fresh, new one.
Although it is true that air plants require very minimal maintenance, they can still react negatively to extremes of water and light.

Kokedama Plant Care
Light
Place your kokedama plant in bright, not direct light, although it also will tolerate low-light conditions. If leaves are pale it means too much sun, and loss of variegation means too little.
Water
Remove plant from the saucer tray.
Soak the plant in a sink with running tap water or room temperature unfiltered water.
Let the plant drain before hanging it on the wall. Make sure the board is fully dried on the back to avoid molding on your wall.
Make sure the soil is fully dry before watering.
Water once a week.
What to do if:
Pale leaves - it is getting too much sun. Move your plant to indirect light.
Loss of variegation (diversity of leaf color) - it is not getting enough sun, move to a location with more indirect sunlight.
Droopy leaves - the plant is thirsty! Give it a good watering. Don't allow the plant to stay wilted for too long, otherwise leaves will start to fall off.
Back spots on the leaves - soil has been kept wet for too long (overwatering).
Dry and brown leaf edges - soil has been kept too dry for too long. Water your plant.
Type of Plant
Your living wall plant is called Pothos (Epipremnum aureum). It is also sometimes referred to as "golden pothos," "money plant," or "devil's ivy."
Note of Caution
Keep your Pothos plant away from pets and children as ingestion of the leaves and/or sap can be toxic.
