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

Adenium obesum
Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry. In summer, water once or twice a week; drastically cut back during winter and shield from heavy monsoon rain.
Requires at least 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for abundant blooming.

Aglaonema commutatum 'Lipstick'
Water every 5–7 days during summer when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering to every 10–14 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

Anthurium andraeanum
Water every 3–5 days when the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Reduce watering during monsoons.
Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Keep away from harsh direct sun, which can burn the foliage and fade the red spathes.

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 2–3 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 3–5 days in summer/monsoon and 7–10 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.

Sansevieria trifasciata 'Golden Hahnii', Philodendron hederaceum 'Golden', Syngonium podophyllum 'Red Heart'
Water once a week or when top 1-2 inches of soil feel completely dry.
Thrives best in bright, indirect sunlight; tolerates moderate shade.

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.

Dieffenbachia seguine 'Star Bright'
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Typically twice a week in hot Indian summers, reducing to once every 7–10 days during monsoons and winter.
Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Protect from harsh direct afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch. Tolerates medium light, but variegation remains brightest in ample indirect light.
Dracaena deremensis
Water every 7-10 days
Low to bright indirect light

Ficus lyrata
Water every 7-10 days
Bright, indirect light

Demo GoldenHahniiSnakePlant
Water only when the soil is completely dry—usually every 2–3 weeks. Water less during winter
Bright indirect light is ideal; it also tolerates low light. Avoid harsh afternoon sunlight.

Haworthiopsis attenuata
Water thoroughly only when the potting mix dries out completely—roughly every 7–10 days in summer and every 2–3 weeks during winter or monsoons.
Prefers bright, indirect sunlight or gentle morning light. Protect from harsh afternoon sun in Indian summers to prevent leaf scorching.

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis
Water daily during hot summer months to keep soil consistently moist; reduce watering to 2-3 times a week in winter and monsoon seasons.
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
