Scientific profiles, watering schedules, and care tips for every green in your home.

Adenium obesum
Water every 7โ10 days in summer and every 15โ20 days in winter. Allow the soil to dry completely before watering again.
Full Sun (6โ8 hours of direct sunlight daily)

Aglaonema commutatum 'Lipstick'
Water every 5โ7 days during summer when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering to every 10โ14 days in winter and monsoon.
Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate medium to low light, though bright indirect light maintains intense red pigmentation.

Aglaonema modestum
Water sparingly, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings
Low to medium indirect sunlight

Aglaonema pictum 'Tricolor'
Water every 5-7 days in summer when top 2 inches of soil dry out. Reduce to once every 10-14 days during winter and humid monsoon weeks.
Thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Keep away from harsh direct sunlight which can scorch the variegated foliage.
Aloe barbadensis
Water sparingly, allowing soil to dry between waterings
Bright, indirect light

Dypsis lutescens
Moderate, once a week
Bright indirect light to partial shade

Chamaedorea seifrizii
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy, and reduce watering during the monsoon and winter.
Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Tolerates medium to low light conditions well, but avoid harsh direct sun which can scorch the fronds.

Strelitzia reginae
Water thoroughly, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings
Full sun to partial shade

Nephrolepis exaltata 'Bostoniensis'
Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
Thrives in bright, indirect light or dappled morning shade. Protect strictly from intense afternoon direct sunlight.
Demo Bougainvillea
Water when the top 2โ3 cm of soil feels dry (about once a week in warm months).
Bright indirect light; avoid harsh afternoon sun.

Caladium bicolor 'White Queen'
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep soil evenly moist during spring and monsoon, reducing sharply during winter dormancy.
Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight or dappled shade. Protect from direct afternoon sun to prevent thin leaves from burning.

Goeppertia veitchiana 'Dottie'
Water every 3โ5 days in summer/monsoon and 7โ10 days in winter. Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged.
Medium to bright indirect sunlight. Protect strictly from direct sun to prevent leaf burn.

Goeppertia concinna 'Freddie'
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid hard tap water; use filtered water when possible.
Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Protect from direct harsh sun, which scorches the foliage and fades leaf patterns.

Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra'
Water when top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging. Water 2-3 times a week in summer and less in winter.
Bright, indirect light with 3-4 hours of soft morning sunlight. Plenty of light is required to maintain its vibrant leaf colors.

Epipremnum aureum
Water every 5 to 7 days when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Reduce frequency during monsoons and winter months.
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Can tolerate medium to low light, though leaf variegation becomes more pronounced in brighter spots.
Dracaena deremensis
Water every 7-10 days
Low to bright indirect light

Needs at least 5 to 6 hours of direct bright sunlight daily for prolific blooming.

Ixora coccinea
Regular watering, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings
Full sun to partial shade
Crassula ovata

Requires 4 to 6 hours of bright light daily. Thrives best in bright direct morning sunlight or filtered indirect light throughout the day.
Jasminum sambac

Requires 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for best flowering.

Dracaena sanderiana
If grown in water, change container water every 7-10 days using RO water. If grown in soil, keep the topsoil lightly moist.
Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Protect from direct harsh summer sun to prevent leaf scorching.
Tagetes erecta
Water every 2-3 days when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid soggy soil and reduce watering during the monsoon to prevent root rot.
Thrives in full sun, requiring at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for maximum flower production.
