Wild Interiors: Beautiful plants in beautiful spaces

Product Information

Keep it warm! Coffee Plants are tropical plants that like to stay warm and humid, so they need to stay above 65F. Keep them away from drafts and consistent cold temps. Common Coffee Plant problems Leaf Drop Spider Plants also enjoy average humidity at home, but if your home is very dry consider a small humidifier or keeping your plant in the bathroom where it can benefit from the steam of your morning shower. Does a Spider Plant need fertilizer?

Temperature:Keep your succulent around room temperature, avoiding extreme heat and cold. An ideal temperature range is between 65℉-85℉. In the summer months, depending on your location, succulents can handle being placed outside, in indirect sunlight. Make sure overnight temperatures don’t dip below 65℉. Zebrina (Tradescantia zebrina), also known as “inch plant” or “wandering jew,” is a versatile and easy care plant. Boasting variegated purple and green leaves with silvery stripes, it’s one of the most beautiful plants you’ll find, and we love it so much that we used Zebrina leaves to hand stamp the shape for our logo! How much light does a Zebrina need? Maintain moist soil and water when the top inch or so of soil has dried out. If your plant sits in water or the soil is too wet, the roots can rot and kill the plant. If you notice excess water or waterlogged soil, you can repot into well draining potting soil to prevent further damage. Trim off any dead roots first! Wake Up and Smell the Coffee PlantFirst things first, you won’t be harvesting your morning cup of joe from this houseplant, unfortunately. It takes a few years (up to 3-5) for a Coffee Plant to grow mature enough to produce flowers, and conditions need to be optimal for the development of the berries. If your plant is really happy, you can pollinate its flowers by hand and you might get a few beans! How much light does a Coffee Plant need? Catch My Thrift isn’t all about the designer goods either, with plenty of high-street names like ASOS and Levi’s being sold alongside Burberry, Nike and Armani. Over-watering - An over-watered plant will wilt and its roots will start to rot, with soupy soil. You want the soil to be damp, not soaking. Chanel always chooses cities that are linked to its history, then themes the show around that, so Manchester’s cotton trade history is likely to feature heavily. The street will be the home of this year’s Chanel Métiers D’Art fashion show, which has previously taken place in settings like a pontoon moored in Shanghai’s Huangpu river and a lavish banquet setting in a Parisian palace.

In the summer months, you may need to water a bit more frequently (once every 2-3 weeks) versus the cooler seasons when you will probably water only every 3-4 weeks. You’ll need to water more frequently if your succulent is outside during the summer. Got Questions? Zebrinas aren’t prone to many pests, but they may get spider mites (teeny tiny arachnids that lay their eggs on leaves and eat plant tissue). To avoid mites in the first place, keep the humidity high (spider mites like it dry). If you find mites on your plant, try rinsing your Zebrina under running water to remove the mites, or upgrade to an insecticide from your local garden center if the infestation is recurring.

Although the businesses along Thomas Street aren’t able to comment on the Chanel show in Manchester, ‘Metiers D’Art’ can be seen labelling boxes along the road now. Zebrina, like our other foliage plants, should be watered when the soil begins to dry out. Keep the top inch of soil moist, which usually means watering once a week. In more humid conditions, you may need less frequent watering, and if it’s hot or dry, you may need to water more often.
