FAQs

Are low maintenance plants suitable for in experienced and beginner gardeners?

Yes! Low maintenance plants are perfect for beginners as they require minimal care and are more forgiving when it comes to occasional neglect or mistakes in plant care.

Do low maintenance plants still require fertilisation?

This collection of low maintenance plants are not particularly greedy feeders and will not need a regular or complicated feeding regime. Long term an occasion, general purpose houseplant feed will help the houseplants continue to grow and thrive but it's not essential. Similarly, our low maintenance garden plants don't need a specific feed regime, but an occasional top dressing of well rotted compost or blood fish and bone will certainly not do any harm.

How can I ensure the longevity of low maintenance plants?

While low maintenance plants require less attention, they still benefit from an occasional water and spruce up. This might include an annual prune and removing dead or yellowed leaves, and ensuring they are placed in the appropriate lighting conditions.
