Care Tips

Light

  • Full sun is best, but Furcraea will do fine in light shade as well
  • A south-facing exposure or unobstructed east- or west-facing window good for it 

 

Water

  • Drought resistant due to their large root system: watering them infrequently (though more so during their bloom in summer and spring) will be fine
  • Be careful not to overwater
  • As with most succulents, standing water can be lethal

 

Soil

  • Well-draining succulent mix is crucial
  • This plant should never be in water-logged soil or allowed to stand in a tray with water
  • The pH should be slightly acidic

 

Fertilizer

  • Either a controlled-release fertilizer at the beginning of the season or weekly fertilization with a weak liquid solution is fine
  • Needs a 20-20-20 fertilizer at 1/4 strength, while younger ones need one with less nitrogen

 

Repotting and Propagation 

  • When repotting, make sure the soil is dry first, then remove the plant gently from its pot
  • Knock away old soil and any dead roots before repotting the plant and filling it with potting soil, making sure to keep its roots widely spread
  • After repotting, give it about a week before watering again, to avoid rotting its roots
  • It propagates from bulbs that appear at the base of the mother plant
  • These small bulbs can be collected and replanted in fresh containers
  • Make sure, though, to keep them well-drained in their infancy and provide bright light

FAQs

How do I place a bulk/coporate order?
For all the bulk/corporate orders, please contact hello@airifier.com
Why not use a fancy rigid box instead of a corrugated one when shipping this product?
To begin with, our corrugated box is of excellent quality and has numerous artworks on it. Therefore, it doesn't appear any less elegant. Our goal is packaging that is as environmentally friendly as it can be. We do not like to utilise rigid boxes because they require more paper and a lot of chemicals to manufacture. There is always a more environmentally friendly choice available: corrugated.
Do succulents clean the air?
Succulents are great in clearing the air and eliminating pollutants; examples of these include aloe vera, snake plants, etc. According to NASA studies, 87% of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) may be eliminated. Because VOCs like benzene and formaldehyde can be found in rugs, cigarette smoke, grocery bags, books, and ink, these plants are beneficial in study and library spaces.
