Finding light for Everlasting in your home
a window
Everlasting love being close to bright, sunny windows 😎.
Place it less than 1ft from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Everlasting does not tolerate low-light 🚫.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Everlasting in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Everlasting
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Everlasting after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

is this a cat / pet-safe plant? #PlantID #whatisthisplant greg ID’d it as an “italian strawflower”, but it’s labeled as a “silver spike” and the scientific name is …not specific 😩 i got mixed answers when I tried to look it up, so i’m not 100% sure it’s safe for my cat to be nearby. so far my cat is uninterested in it, but I’d like to know if it’s something I can keep nearby, or if I should move it out of reach. 🤔 cat for reference.

#Helichrysum #SilverStar is wilting and drying up! What can I do?? I already know I need to repot this little beauty, but I would like to know if there’s anything else I can do to prevent further wilting. She gets full direct sun facing Northwest, is watered regularly when needed, and is indoors. Is there anything I can do??

Licorice plant looking sad Hi there, I was hoping that someone could help me diagnose the trouble I’m having with my new licorice plant. Or… at least I think it’s a licorice plant? She looks brown and a little dried up - I tried moving her out of direct sunlight and watering her more but it doesn’t seem to be helping. Any suggestions? Thanks Greg! #PlantTherapy #PlantCorner #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants

What kind of plant is this? Greg says this is Italian Strawflower, but I thought maybe it is Spanish Moss. Though it feels and looks sturdier than moss. Is it maybe another kind of airplant? #ItalianStrawflower #SpanishMoss #AirPlant #SucculentSquad

Has tons of bugs This plant has been staying in my sunroom which is a steady 40°F, I noticed a bunch of tiny black bugs all over the leaves, they don’t move they stay still. Not sure if these are spider mites? What’s the best way to get rid of them?
