Dish Garden Care
Place your dish garden in bright, indirect light—a spot near a window with filtered light works beautifully for most common houseplants.
- Light
- Bright, indirect light. A spot near a window with filtered light works beautifully for most common houseplants.
- Water
- Since dish gardens contain a variety of plants, watering needs may vary slightly, but as a general rule water every 1–2 weeks, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water slowly and evenly across the soil, being careful not to overwater as dish gardens typically do not have drainage holes—less is more. Avoid getting water on the foliage when possible.
- Temperature
- Keep away from direct sunlight, cold drafts, and heat vents to keep all plants happy.
- Maintenance
- Rotate the dish occasionally to ensure all plants receive even light exposure.
Toxicity
Varies by plant
Since dish gardens are premade with a variety of assorted plants, some varieties may be toxic to pets and children. If toxicity is a concern for your household, we recommend researching the specific plants included or placing the arrangement in an area out of reach of pets and little ones.
This is general care information, not veterinary or medical advice. If you believe a pet or child has eaten part of this plant, contact your veterinarian or a poison control center right away.
