Plant Care Guide
Thank you for welcoming a Tiny Tray Garden into your home.
Each of our creations is handcrafted using carefully selected live plants designed to thrive with minimal maintenance. While every garden is unique, following these simple care guidelines will help your miniature landscape remain healthy and beautiful for a long time.
Light Requirements
Most Tiny Tray Gardens prefer bright, indirect sunlight.
Place your garden near a window, balcony door, or well-lit indoor area where it receives natural light throughout the day.
Avoid:
• Harsh afternoon sunlight
• Continuous direct sunlight for long hours
• Completely dark corners
Too much direct sunlight may cause leaves to dry or burn, while insufficient light can slow growth.
Watering Guide
One of the most common mistakes is overwatering.
Water only when the soil feels slightly dry to touch.
General guideline:
• Summer: 2–3 times per week
• Winter: 1–2 times per week
• Monsoon: As required based on soil moisture
Always water gently around the soil rather than directly onto decorative elements.
Avoid allowing water to accumulate at the bottom of the tray.
Indoor Placement
Your tray garden is ideal for:
• Living rooms
• Work desks
• Reception areas
• Study corners
• Coffee tables
• Bedroom side tables
Choose a location with adequate airflow and natural brightness.
Plant Growth
Plants are living organisms and will naturally grow, change shape, and develop over time.
Some leaves may occasionally dry or shed naturally. This is normal and part of the plant's growth cycle.
Pruning overgrown leaves helps maintain the appearance of your miniature garden.
Cleaning Your Garden
To keep your tray garden looking beautiful:
• Remove dry leaves regularly
• Wipe decorative elements gently with a soft brush
• Keep the surface free from dust
• Avoid using chemical cleaners
Seasonal Care
Summer
Increase monitoring of soil moisture.
Protect from harsh afternoon heat.
Winter
Reduce watering frequency.
Ensure adequate sunlight exposure.
Monsoon
Avoid excessive watering.
Ensure proper drainage.
Important Notes
Every tray garden contains live plants. Slight variations in growth, leaf shape, color, and size are natural and should be expected.
With proper care, your Tiny Tray Garden can continue growing and bringing joy for years to come.
