Verdeia tip: the compact size of the Atom makes it perfect for small spaces and shelves where standard versions would be too bulky.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate; let the top 2-3 cm of the soil dry out between waterings.
- Frequency: about once a week in spring-summer, reduce in winter.
- Drainage: essential — use a perforated decorative pot with well-draining substrate.

- Fertilizer: once a month in spring-summer with a diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants.

What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
