1. UNBOXING YOUR PLANTS (FIRST STEPS)
When your package arrives, please open it immediately.
- Gentle Handling: Gently remove any wrapping or paper shredding.
- Clean up: It is normal for some soil to shake loose during shipping or for bottom leaves to look dry. Gently brush away loose dirt.
- Let them Breathe: Place your plants in a shaded, well-ventilated area with bright indirect light for 1-2 days to let them acclimate to your home's environment before watering.

2. SUCCULENT CARE GUIDE
Succulents are famous for being low-maintenance, but they do have two golden rules: lots of light and very little water.
- Sunlight: Succulents love bright, indirect sunlight. They need about 4-6 hours of daily sun. If they don't get enough light, they might stretch out and lose their compact shape.
- Watering: The "Soak and Dry" method is key. Only water when the soil is completely dry all the way to the bottom of the pot. When you water, pour until it drains out of the bottom hole, then empty the tray. Never let succulents sit in standing water.
- Soil & Potting: Always use well-draining succulent/cactus soil mix and pots with drainage holes.

3. AIR PLANT (TILLANDSIA) CARE GUIDE
Air plants are unique because they do not grow in soil! They absorb moisture and nutrients through their leaves.
- Light: Place them in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct, scorching afternoon sun, which can burn their delicate leaves.
- Watering: Air plants need regular watering to survive. There are two main methods:
* Mist: Mist them thoroughly 2-3 times a week.
* Soak (Recommended): Submerge your air plants in a bowl of room-temperature water for 20-30 minutes once a week.
- Crucial Step (Drying): After watering, gently shake off any excess water and place them UPSIDE DOWN on a towel in a well-ventilated area to dry completely within 4 hours. If water traps inside their center base, they will rot.
