Planting & Care

1. Planting: Start by selecting a location for your Pancake Plant. An East, West or North-facing window is ideal since this plant thrives in partial sun to partial shade – as long as the light is bright but indirect or partially shady, you’re good to go. Once you’ve selected your location, choose a container that’s approximately one and a half to two times the width of your plant’s shipped container, plant your Pancake, then water to settle the roots.

2. Watering: A good rule of thumb is to water your Pancake Plant about once a week, depending on the season. In hotter, drier weather, your Pancake Plant might need a bit more water. If you’re not sure when to water your Pancake Plant, just check the soil down to around 2 inches. If the soil is dry, it’s time to water.

3. Fertilizing: Feed your Pancake Plant monthly or bi-monthly with any balanced house plant fertilizer for best results.
