Featured Questions
Do medium-light plants require special maintenance?
Medium-light plants are relatively easy to care for, but some basic maintenance ensures they stay healthy and vibrant.Maintenance Tips for Medium-Light Plants:
Watering: Ensure the soil is slightly dry before watering again to prevent overwatering. Each plant may have specific watering needs, so it’s best to check individual requirements.
Lighting: Place these plants in areas where they can receive consistent, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Soil: Use well-draining soil to keep roots healthy and prevent water from pooling at the bottom of the pot. A fresh, nutrient-rich potting mix is beneficial.
Cleaning: Dust off the leaves regularly with a damp cloth to maintain their ability to photosynthesize effectively.
Pruning: Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth and maintain the plant’s appearance.
Fertilizing: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed the plants with a balanced, gentle fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.
Pest Control: Inspect plants regularly for pests like spider mites or aphids. Treat any infestations promptly with eco-friendly solutions.
Humidity and Temperature: Some medium-light plants, especially tropical varieties, appreciate higher humidity and warm temperatures. Consider misting them occasionally or using a humidifier if the air in your home is dry.
By following these simple tips, your medium-light plants will thrive, adding beauty and freshness to your indoor environment. For more detailed information and to find the perfect plant for your space, visit Léon & George's medium-light plant collection.

Bright, indirect light can support statement plants such as Fiddle Leaf Fig, Bird of Paradise, and Monstera. Larger rooms benefit from taller plants that fill vertical space, while compact spaces call for slimmer silhouettes.
