Product description
Fancy giving your home a tropical makeover but aren’t sure whether you can keep the plants alive? Look no further than our Easy-Care Tropical House Plant Bundle. Providing exactly what you’d expect from the title, this collection of 3 indoor plants is undemanding, easy to look after, and brings an exotic vibe to any room in the home or office.
Ever popular for their unique appearance and forgiving nature, Snake Plants are succulents boasting tall, upright, fleshy leaves. This Golden Flame variety features dark green foliage variegated with golden yellow edges. Reaching an eventual height of 30-60cm, this Snake Plant is happiest in bright indirect light but tolerates full shade too.
The Areca Palm, or Butterfly Palm as it’s also known, makes an excellent focal point with its lush bright green foliage. Tall stems give way to large, feathery fronds that arch outwards, creating a dramatic, eye-catching look. Areca Palms can reach over 1.5m tall and are perfect for placing in sunny corners.
Featuring long, slender leaves in bright green and sunshine yellow tones, Cordyline Kiwi is perhaps the most tropical looking house plant in this collection. Some leaves even adopt pink hues on the margins. Growing to an ultimate height of 90-120cm, Cordyline Kiwi is often referred to as the Good Luck Plant and does an excellent job of brightening the room.
Whether you choose to display your new house plants together or separately, they don’t need a huge amount of attention to flourish. Place each plant in indirect light or partial shade, taking care not to choose a position where strong sunlight can cause leaf scorch. Water Areca Palms and Cordylines weekly, when the top 2-3cm of soil feels dry and reduce watering during the autumn and winter months when the plant isn’t growing. As a succulent house plant, the Snake Plant prefers drier soil and only needs to be watered around once a month, when the soil has fully dried out.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.
House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Rotate these house plants regularly to promote even growth and prevent them leaning towards a light source.
How to Water
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. During the growing season, this is typically once a week, but always adjust based on the environment. Reduce watering in the winter months when growth slows. Ensure excess water drains away to prevent root rot, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Use filtered or rainwater to avoid mineral build-up on the plant’s leaves.
How to Plant
To plant your Indoor Plant Mix, choose pots with good drainage holes and use a quality houseplant compost. Gently remove each plant from its nursery pot and loosen the roots if they appear compacted. Position each plant at the same depth as in its original pot, filling around it with soil and firming gently. Place the pots in a bright location with indirect sunlight, avoiding direct exposure to prevent leaf scorching. Water lightly after planting to settle the soil.
