Recognized for its ease of care and drought tolerance, the Panda Plant is an excellent choice for infusing natural charm and a touch of whimsy into your living spaces or garden.

Plant Care

Light:

  • Provide your Panda Plant with bright, indirect sunlight. It thrives in well-lit conditions.
  • Indoors, place it near a sunny window with filtered light, preferably a south or west-facing one.
  • Outdoors, ensure it receives sunlight for at least 4-6 hours a day.

Temperature:

  • Maintain a warm indoor environment with temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C).
  • Protect the plant from cold drafts and temperature fluctuations.

Watering:

  • Allow the top inch or two of the soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly but less frequently.
  • During the growing season (spring and summer), increase watering slightly, but always ensure the soil dries out between waterings.
  • Avoid overwatering, as succulents are susceptible to root rot.

Soil:

  • Use well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix to ensure proper drainage and prevent waterlogged soil. A mix of potting soil, perlite, and sand works well.

Pot:

  • Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation at the root level. Panda Plants prefer slightly crowded conditions and don't require frequent repotting.

Fertilization:

  • Feed your plant with a balanced, water-soluble succulent fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
  • Reduce or eliminate fertilization in the dormant season (fall and winter).

Pests:

  • Panda Plants are relatively pest-resistant. However, keep an eye out for common succulent pests like mealybugs or aphids, and treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

    Customer photo review of Violette de Bordeaux Fig

    It's doing really well. I will be transferring it to a bigger pot probably by the weekend. I wish I had a little more instructions on how to care for this variety, and what to do in the fall.

    Customer photo review of Medinilla Myriantha 'Malaysian Orchid'

    Very healthy cutting. Followed the instructions and let it get acclimated to its new surroundings for a couple of weeks before repotting. Would not hesitate to purchase from this business again 😃

    Customer photo review of Pink Swamp Milkweed

    Plants arrived in great condition. This plant has only been in the ground about 10 days and is growing a lot. The plant cage is 12” tall so it’s doing well. I put guards around my new plants for a little while because I have bunnies who love tender young leaves.

    Customer photo review of Mystery Plant

    I got 2 mystery plants (one indoor and one outdoor). The indoor was a pilea and the outdoor plant was a white blackberry. White blackberry was dramatic, but it’s making a comeback and the pilea is doing great!

    Customer photo review of Musa 'Red Dacca' Banana

    Need to upgrade your packaging. I would suggest taping the plant in place in the cardboard tube on the count that it slid and smashed itself. Luckily, it's a strong plant and should recover. Hoping.for the best.

    Customer photo review of Pomegranate 'Dwarf Red'

    This little guy came in perfect. Despite the cat knocking it over and being placed in the soup cup for safer keeping, it’s thriving and happy. Once it’s bigger then it will make its way outdoors.

    This is my first year of ordering live plants on line. I live in an apt, but have a nice size patio to do container planting. I'm waking up my green thumb and loving it.
