Care Instructions:

Lil’ Green Carpet is low-maintenance but does have a few simple musts. It loves bright, indirect light, so keep it out of direct sunbeams. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but never waterlogged—think damp, but not soggy. In the growing season, a light dose of liquid fertilizer will keep it extra happy. It’s sensitive to dryness, so make sure humidity levels are kept moderately high. Feel free to mist it occasionally—think of it as a tiny plant spa treatment.
