If you have any concerns or issues with your plants, please contact us within 30 days, and we will provide a full refund or replacement. Care Information WATERING: Maintain a consistent watering schedule to keep your air plants healthy. Underwatering is better than overwatering as excessive moisture can lead to root rot. Watch for signs: if leaves turn brown or curl up, it may indicate the need for more water. Conversely, if leaves turn black or the plant becomes soft, it may be getting too much water. ENVIRONMENT: Consider your specific environment when determining watering frequency. Factors such as climate, air flow, and lighting affect the needs of your air plants. For instance, if your air-conditioned home has low light, watering once a week might be appropriate. SUNLIGHT: Protect your air plants from direct sunlight to prevent damage. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, especially between 10 AM and 2 PM, as it can cause burns. Keep in mind that all our plants are greenhouse-grown and not adapted to direct sunlight. AIR CIRCULATION: Proper air circulation is crucial for the well-being of air plants. A kitchen or any room with sufficient light will provide suitable conditions. If the temperature permits, placing them outside can enhance air flow (recommended temperature range: 60°F – 80°F). TEMPERATURE: Air plants are resilient and can tolerate a wide range of temperatures. Most varieties thrive in temperatures in the high 70s. To stimulate vibrant colors, consider exposing them to larger temperature differentials between day and night.

Vincent Female Kiwi – Actinidia chinensis – Live Plant

Plant Size A baby plant, that is 3-8 inches tall, will arrive at your home in a 3-inch-deep pot. Then, raise your new baby to maturity under your caring, green thumb. Description The female Vincent kiwi is ideal for southern climates because it requires little winter chilling to set fruit. You will need a male for your kiwi to bear fruit. The Tomuri male is an ideal match for the Vincent female. One male plant is adequate to pollinate up to 8 female plants if it’s centrally located. If planted in rows, a male can pollinate 3-4 females. Female plants produce fruit. Male plants do not produce fruit. • Average mature height: Vine can reach up to 30 feet. • Chill Hours: 200 • Light: Full sun • Soil: Well-drained. Average watering needs. • Zones: 8-9 Fall/Winter Dormancy Period with No Leaves In the winter, this plant generally loses its leaves and may arrive bare to you. Like hibernation, dormancy is an important part of the normal growing cycle when plants are strengthening their root systems instead of focusing on creating new growth. They are still healthy, viable plants that will begin growing new leaves in spring with more light and warmer temperatures during the day and night. ​Keep on the drier side during the winter and protect from extreme cold. While your plant may seem dead, it is not; we have watched the miracle of dormancy for more than 20 years in our nursery and have been thrilled each spring to see dormant plants bloom out and thrive at the end of their normal growing cycle of dormancy.
