Alocasia Zebrina {Elephant Ear}

Zara

£34.99 Save £-34.99
/
Tax included.

A plant with stripes? Yes I know! and that is the reason I am called 'Zara' because what Zebra isn't called Zara, apart from Marty in Madagascar. If you're looking for an impressive, cool houseplant that isn't just destined for the coffee table but is big enough to be a real statement piece, I am the plant for you.

Big Height (including nursery pot) 70-85cm; pot diameter 19cm. (Fits 20-22cm decorative pot)

Health Benefits- Can increase sense of wellbeing

Pet safe- Mildly toxic when consumed

 

Lighting for your Alocasia Zebrina

Zara likes medium to bright indirect light. She doesn't like too much direct light as this will burn her leaves. She will also tolerate shade and low light conditions but, she does need a chance to get some sunshine throughout the day. Avoid cold draughts and this will make her a little bit unhappy.

Watering your Alocasia Zebrina

In the summer from March to September keep Zara's soil moist, we recommend watering twice a week. Watering Wednesday and Soak Sunday.

In the winter from October to February reduce watering to once a week. Houseplant watering guide

Use rain or distilled water to make Zara extra happy.

Humidity for Alocasia Zebrina

Zara likes room humidity to be around 60%. Normal room humidity is around 40-50%. To increase humidity you can use a Humidifier, place Zara next to other houseplants or you can fill a saucer with pebbles and water, place Zara on top of this.

Alocasia Zebrina Fertiliser 

From March to August give Zara some houseplant fertiliser every two weeks when watering.

Repotting your Alocasia Zebrina

When the roots start to grow out of the bottom opening of the pot, it is time to put Zara into a larger pot. For soil, we recommend a good draining soil.

Alocasia Zebrina Care Problems

  • Browning leaves, not enough humidity or water is too hard. Use rainwater or distilled.

  • Overwatering and soggy soil can be a killer causing root rot and yellowing leaves.

  • Leaves may drop off in the winter while the plant is dormant but she will be back in the spring.

 

Delivery

We individually package our plants with recyclable materials to ensure you receive the highest quality plants. Every plant leaves us with a Pointless Plants quality assured sticker, this means we have checked the plant and it meets our very high standards. ** Please note some plants will contain plastic around them which have been added by growers to protect their delicate leaves. We do our best not add single use plastic to our orders

​We send our plants using a next day delivery trusted courier service which will give you shipping updates and the opportunity to rearrange delivery. We do leave a delivery instruction to leave box in a safe place as a quick delivery ensures quality of our plants are maintained. This should also avoid having to reschedule missed deliveries.

​99% of the time our plants are delivered safely. Occasionally plants may arrive a little bit damaged. In this case send us a picture within 72hours and we will be more than happy to replace them.

​We ship using a next day delivery but, sometimes we need a 3-7day period to process your order. This is because demand fluctuates, we may need extra packing time or plants availability has changed at the last minute. We try our best to make delivery as quick as possible and we are working very hard on reducing our dispatch time.

 

​Returns & Refunds

If you receive your plants and they are damaged from delivery, we will happily replace them. Just send us a picture within 72 hours of receiving them.

Philo Monstera {Cheese Plant}

Monty

£17.99 Save £-17.99
/
Tax included.

Hello, my name is Monty. I used to be called 'Montgomery', before I was told that I wasn't very relatable. I was very popular in 1980's houseplant craze because of my funky leaves. I was very much enjoying an early retirement until recently. But, then I became popular once again. So, I would just like to thank, what I believe to be called the 'Vegan Hipsters' for bringing me back into 2019.

Small Height (including nursery pot) 45-55cm; pot diameter 14cm.(Fits a 15-17cm Pot)

Big Height (including nursery pot) 60-75cm; pot diameter 19cm. (Fits a 20-24cm Pot)

Big Height with Moss pole (including nursery pot) 75-85cm; pot diameter 19cm. (Fits a 20-24cm Pot)

 

Health Benefits- Can improve sense of well being and productivity

Pet safe- Mildly toxic when consumed

 

Lighting for your Monstera Plant

Monty likes bright indirect sunlight. To add a bit of context in the wild he is a climber, starts on the forest floor and climbs towards light, he loves a bit of shade and sun. Afternoon direct light should be avoided as his leaves can burn.

Watering your Monstera Plant

In the summer from March to September, we recommend watering twice a week. Watering Wednesday and Soak Sunday. 

In the winter from October to February reduce watering to once a week or less. Houseplant watering guide

Monty will droop and curl his leaves when he needs watering, especially in warmer weather.

Humidity for your Monstera Plant

Monty likes room humidity to be around 60%. Normal room humidity is around 40-50%. To increase humidity you can use a Humidifier, place Monty next to other houseplants or you can fill a saucer with pebbles and water, place Monty on top of this.

Fertiliser for your Monstera Plant

From March to August give Monty some houseplant fertiliser every month when watering.

Repotting your Monstera Plant

When the roots start to grow out of the bottom opening of the pot, it is time to put Monty into a larger pot. For soil, we recommend a good house plant compost with peat.

Monstera Plant Care Problems

  • Brown tips on leaves can be from too much direct sunlight, or low humidity.

  • Yellowing leaves from over or under watering.

Lighting Calathea Orbifolia

Ollie likes medium to bright indirect. He doesn't like direct light as this will burn his leaves. He will also tolerate shade and low light conditions making him an easy choice for most people.

 

Watering your Calathea Orbifolia Plant

In the summer from March to September keep Ollie's soil moist, we recommend watering twice a week. Watering Wednesday and Soak Sunday.

In the winter from October to February reduce watering to once a week. Houseplant watering guide

Use rain or distilled water to make Ollie extra happy.

 

Humidity your Calathea Orbifolia

Ollie likes room humidity to be around 60%. Normal room humidity is around 40-50%. To increase humidity you can use a Humidifier, place Ollie next to other houseplants or you can fill a saucer with pebbles and water, place Ollie on top of this.

 

Fertiliser for you your Calathea Orbifolia

From March to August give Ollie some houseplant fertiliser every month when watering.

 

Repotting your Calathea Orbifolia

When the roots start to grow out of the bottom opening of the pot, it is time to put Ollie into a larger pot. For soil, we recommend a good draining soil.

 

Calathea Orbifolia Care Problems

  • Browning leaves, not enough humidity or water is too hard. Use rainwater or distilled.

  • Overwatering and soggy soil can be a killer causing root rot.

 

 

Delivery

We individually package our plants with recyclable materials to ensure you receive the highest quality plants. Every plant leaves us with a Pointless Plants quality assured sticker, this means we have checked the plant and it meets our very high standards. ** Please note some plants will contain plastic around them which have been added by growers to protect their delicate leaves. We do our best not add single use plastic to our orders

​We send our plants using a next day delivery trusted courier service which will give you shipping updates and the opportunity to rearrange delivery. We do leave a delivery instruction to leave box in a safe place as a quick delivery ensures quality of our plants are maintained. This should also avoid having to reschedule missed deliveries.

​99% of the time our plants are delivered safely. Occasionally plants may arrive a little bit damaged. In this case send us a picture within 72hours and we will be more than happy to replace them.

​We ship using a next day delivery but, sometimes we need a 3-7day period to process your order. This is because demand fluctuates, we may need extra packing time or plants availability has changed at the last minute. We try our best to make delivery as quick as possible and we are working very hard on reducing our dispatch time.

I think my plant is dying! Help!

We’re here to help. Send us an email ​hello@pointlessplants.com​ or WhatsApp us on ​07308953372 ​and we can help assist you further.
