In fact, watering is a limited part of Panda Plant care. When you do water, do so completely while giving the plant the infrequent drink. You will find humidity is not an issue when learning how to grow a Panda Plant successfully. The average room provides enough moisture for this easy-care, furry plant. The indoor Panda Plant can live for many years in these conditions. If desired, move it outside during spring and summer, but protect it from the hot afternoon sun. During these months, fertilize with a balanced houseplant food mixed at half strength as a part of Panda Plant care. When growing Panda Plants, you will likely find more home areas that would benefit from one of these plants. Propagation of the Panda Plant is an easy and inexpensive way to get more of the plants.

Plant Appearance & Sizing
Plant Appearance & Sizing
Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grown in, depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next and display color, shape, and growth variation based on the current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
