CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these instructions to keep your Taco Plant healthy and happy.

Water: Keep the soil barely moist and allow the top layer (about 3 - 4cm) to dry out between watering. During winter, reduce watering further and allow the soil to dry out halfway before watering again. 
Light: Medium to bright light is best. Keep out of the direct sun.
Humidity: Appreciates humidity. Mist your plant often to create a rainforest vibe.
Fertilize: Feed with good organic fertilizer (diluted) every month from Spring to Autumn
