Care guide

Living gifts, without the guesswork.

Beautiful plant gifts should not require a greenhouse degree. These are the simple habits that help Rooted Realm pieces settle in and stay lovely.

01

Light

Bright, indirect light keeps most arrangements happiest. A few hours of gentle morning sun is welcome; harsh afternoon sun is not.

02

Water

Less is more. Water sparingly when the soil or moss feels dry, and never leave a jar sitting in standing water.

03

Placement

Keep pieces away from cold drafts, heaters, and sealed dark cabinets. Living gifts want a calm, lived-in room.

04

Arrival

Open the box soon after it arrives, remove packing gently, and give the plants a day to settle before moving them often.

Honesty is part of the gift.

Live plants travel. We design packaging, transit timing, and care cards around that reality — and we would rather set clear expectations than promise perfection. If a piece arrives looking unsettled, give it light, space, and a day to recover before worrying.
