Plant Care:

Areca Palm (Dypsis lutescens)

• Light: Bright, filtered light; no harsh direct sun indoors.

• Water: Water when top 3–5 cm are dry. Consistent but not wet—palms dislike waterlogging.

• Humidity: Medium–high preferred.

• Temperature: 18–27 °C.

• Soil & Pot: Peat-free, airy mix (potting soil + perlite + a little sand). Excellent drainage.

• Fertilizer: Palm fertilizer or balanced feed monthly in spring–summer (half strength).

• Pruning: Only remove fully brown fronds; never cut green stems.

• Common issues: Yellow fronds = underwatering or magnesium deficiency; brown tips = dry air or salts—flush soil every few months.

Ficus benjamina (Weeping Fig)

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct afternoon sun.

• Water: Let the top 2–3 cm of soil dry out, then water thoroughly. Reduce in winter.

• Humidity: Medium–high. Mist weekly or place near a humidifier/pebble tray.

• Temperature: 18–26 °C. Hates cold drafts or sudden moves (can drop leaves).

• Soil & Pot: Well-draining mix (potting soil + perlite). Pot with drainage holes.

• Fertilizer: Balanced liquid feed every 4–6 weeks in spring–summer.

• Pruning: Trim leggy branches to shape; wipe leaves to remove dust.

• Common issues: Leaf drop = shock/low light/overwatering; yellow leaves = soggy soil.

Dieffenbachia (Dumb Cane)

• Light: Medium to bright, indirect light (variegation fades in low light).

• Water: Keep evenly moist; allow the top 2cm to dry between waterings. Avoid soggy soil.

• Humidity: Likes higher humidity; occasional misting helps.

• Temperature: 18–30 °C; keep away from AC drafts.

• Soil & Pot: Rich, well-draining mix.

• Fertilizer: Every 4–6 weeks during growing season.

• Pruning: Remove yellowing lower leaves; rotate the pot for even growth.

• Note (Toxicity): Sap is irritating/toxic to pets and children—handle with care.

• Common issues: Brown tips = dry air/underwatering; limp stems = overwatering.

General Indoor Plant Tips

• Water quality: If tips brown, try filtered or rested tap water.

• Light test: If you can comfortably read a book without lights on, it’s enough for these plants.

• Repotting: Every 1–2 years in spring, or when roots circle the pot/drainage clogs.

• Pest watch: Check undersides for spider mites, scale, mealybugs; treat early with neem oil or insecticidal soap.

• Clean leaves: Wipe monthly so plants photosynthesize better.

Perfect for homes and offices, this trio showcases why these are among the most popular indoor plants in Dubai—stylish, low-maintenance, and air-purifying.
