Welcome to Frosted Acres
If you’re building a greener home (or looking for an easy gift), Frosted Acres is your local stop for a curated mix of houseplants, seasonal plants, planters, and plant-care know-how. Here are a few quick wins to help your plants thrive—plus a simple way to check what’s currently in stock.
5 quick plant-care tips that make a big difference
1) Match the plant to your light
Before you buy, take 30 seconds to notice your space: bright direct sun, bright indirect light, or low light. Choosing a plant that fits your window direction is the fastest way to avoid leggy growth and leaf drop.
2) Water less often, but more thoroughly
Most houseplants prefer a “soak and dry” rhythm. Water until it drains from the bottom, then wait until the top couple of centimetres of soil feel dry before watering again.
3) Use the right pot (and don’t skip drainage)
Drainage holes are your best friend. If you love a decorative planter without holes, keep the plant in a nursery pot inside it, and empty any excess water after watering.
4) Rotate your plants
Give your plant a quarter-turn every week or two so it grows evenly toward the light. This is especially helpful for trailing plants and anything sitting near a window.
5) Check for pests early
When you water, take a quick look under leaves and along stems. Catching issues early (like spider mites or mealybugs) makes treatment much easier.
