Candle Care
Caring For Your Candle
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Keep your candle away from flammable objects, children, and pets.
- When burning your candle for the first time, be sure to allow the melt pool to reach the edge of your vessel to avoid tunneling.
- Always trim your wick to 1/4 inch before each burn. (This will help your candle last longer!)
- Do not burn for longer than 4 hours at one time.
- Hand-poured soy candles are unique and you may find some character coming through as you burn it. (This is normal, but please contact us with any questions.)
- When your candle has 1/4 inch of wax left,stop burning! See our events tab to find e so you can re-pour your candle!
Plant Care
Arabica Coffee Plant
Origin: Ethiopia
Water: Keeping your arabica coffee plant consistently moist, but not soggy is best. Too little water will cause leaves to become wrinkly or begin to brown.
Sun: This plant enjoys bright, direct light.
Fertilizer: Fertilize every 2-3 months during spring and summer. It is not necessary to fertilize this plant during fall and winter.
Toxicity: Arabica coffee plants are toxic for animals.
Arrowhead
Origin: Africa
Water: Water your arrowhead when the top soil becomes dry. These plants prefer to be on the moist side, but not soggy.
Sun: This plant prefers low to medium light. Arrowhead can suffer from sunburn, so direct light is not recommended for this plant.
Fertilizer: Fertilize once a other month with all purpose houseplant food.
Toxicity: This plant is toxic for animals.
Croton
Origin: South-East Asia
Water: These plants love frequent watering. Leaves will become droopy or begin to fall if the plant is not receiving adequate water.
Sun: Crotons love as much full sun as possible. As the plant gets more sun and matures, the colors in the leaves become darker and more prominent.
Fertilizer: Fertilize once a other month with all purpose houseplant food.
Toxicity: Crotons are toxic for animals.
Dieffenbachia
Origin: Mexico
Water: This plant prefers to be on the drier side. Allow the top soil to dry completely and then water well. Under watering will produce yellow and
falling leaves.
Sun: Moderate light is best for this plant. Dieffenbachia will grow towards the light source, so rotating is important for a straight plant and healthy leaves on all sides.
Fertilizer: Fertilize twice a month with general purpose houseplant food.
Toxicity: Dieffenbachia is toxic for animals.
Dracaena Janet Craig
Origin: Africa
Water: Dracaena Janet Craig plants do not require a lot of water and are happiest when their top soil is allowed to dry between watering. They can stretch even longer between watering in the winter.
Sun: These plants prefer medium indirect light. While they can survive in low light, they will be slow growing in low light conditions.
Fertilizer: Fertilize once in the spring and once in the fall with general purpose houseplant food.
Toxicity: This plant is toxic for animals.
Dracaena Marginata
Origin: Madagascar
Water: Dracaena marginatas do not require a lot of water and are happiest when their top soil is allowed to dry between watering.
Sun: These plants prefer medium indirect light. While they can survive in low light, they will be slow growing in low light conditions.
Fertilizer: Dracaena marginata plants should be fertilized once in the spring and once in the fall.
Toxicity: This plant is toxic for animals.
Dracaena Reflexa
Origin: Madagascar
Water: Dracaena reflexas do not require a lot of water and are happiest when their top soil is allowed to dry between watering.

Fertilizer: Dracaena reflexa plants should be fertilized once in the spring and once in the fall.
Toxicity: This plant is toxic for animals.
Dracaena White Jewel
Origin: Africa
Water: Dracaena white jewels do not require a lot of water and are happiest when their top soil is allowed to dry between watering.

Toxicity: This plant is toxic for animals.
Dwarf Umbrella Tree
Origin: Taiwan
Water: Water thoroughly when the top soil dries out, then let the soil dry before watering again.
Sun: Dwarf umbrellas do best in indirect light. Too much direct sun can cause leaves to burn.
Fertilizer: Fertilize your dwarf umbrella once a month during spring and summer. It is not necessary to fertilize this plant during fall and winter.
Toxicity: These plants are toxic for animals.
English Ivy
Origin: Europe
Water: Ivy plants prefer to be on the drier side. Allow the top soil to dry completely and then water well. Over-watering will cause leaves to turn yellow and fall. Under watering will produce brown and crunchy leaves.
Sun: This plant does best in full shade. It can be grown in artificial light as long as the hours of light provided mimic sun’s pattern.
Fertilizer: Ivy requires only minimal fertilizing. Providing fertilizer twice a year is plenty.
Toxicity: English Ivy is toxic to animals.
Parlor Palms
Origin: Central America, Mexico
Water: Keep your parlor palm moist, but not soggy during the spring and summer. During the fall and winter, allow it to dry longer between watering.
Sun: Parlor palms prefer low to medium light. They are not suited for direct sunlight.
Fertilizer: Fertilize once per month during spring and summer with all purpose houseplant food.
Toxicity: Parlor palms are non-toxic for animals.
Peperomia
Origin: South America
Water: Allow your peperomia’s top soil to dry out between watering. It is better to under water this plant as over watering causes root rot easily in peperomias. During the winter, increase time between watering.
Sun: This plant prefers indirect light. Peperomias can burn and turn brown if exposed to direct light.
Fertilizer: Fertilize once a month with general purpose houseplant food during the spring and summer. It is not necessary to fertilize this plant during the fall and winter.
Toxicity: This plant is non-toxic for animals.
Pink Polka Dot Plant
Origin: South Africa, Madagascar, South-East Asia
Water: The polka dot plant should be watered often enough to keep the soil slightly moist. Decrease the frequency of watering if the leaves turn yellow and fall from the plant. Water more often if the leaves turn brown. If left without water for long enough, the plant will “faint” and look dead. When caught in time, the plant can be watered and after several hours it will perk up again.
Sun: These plants enjoy medium light, but can also tolerate a few hours of direct sunlight. Extended periods of low light is not recommended for this plant.
Fertilizer: Fertilize once a month with general purpose houseplant food.
Toxicity: This plant is non-toxic for animals.
Pothos
Origin: South-East Asia
Water: Pothos plants prefer to be on the drier side. Allow the top soil to dry completely and then water well. Over-watering will cause leaves to turn yellow and fall. Under watering will produce brown and crunchy leaves.
Sun: Pothos can handle a variety of light conditions. From bookshelves across the room from a light source to sitting on a windowsill, the pothos will usually thrive.
Fertilizer: Fertilize once a other month with all purpose houseplant food.
Toxicity: Pothos are toxic to animals.
Prayer Plant
Origin: Brazil
Water: Water your prayer plant when the top half inch of soil is dry. These plants love humidity.
Sun: Prayer plants prefer low to medium light. They should not be placed in direct sunlight because their leaves will scorch and curl.
Fertilizer: Fertilize once every two weeks during spring and summer with all purpose houseplant food. Reduce to once a month during the fall and winter.
Toxicity: This plant is non-toxic for animals.
