Edible: No. Our houseplants are not edible.
Soil: Use a well-draining, slightly acidic potting soil. Peat-moss (or a peat alternative) may be used.
Lighting: Houseplants need several hours of good lighting each day. A south-facing window is best for lighting throughout the mornings and afternoons. Gro-lights are a great alternative for areas in the home that do not receive enough sunlight.
Water: Water thoroughly when soil begins to dry. We recommend using Distilled, Reverse Osmosis, or Rainwater.
