Plant care
To keep your plants healthy before the workshop, please do the following using room temperature water:
1. Bun Moss – You’ll find this in the biodegradable zip lock bag. Take this out and submerge it in some water for a few seconds. Then take it out, squeeze out as much of the water as possible and then put it in a closed lid container (e.g. Tupperware) to keep it from drying out. If it starts to look like it is drying out or goes brown, repeat this process.
2. Tropical plant cuttings – You’ll find these within the petri dish. Fill the spray bottle with some water and give these a couple of squirts each day. You should keep these in the petri dish but open it up to air them once a day.
Also, keep the coir and lava rock away from water for now!
What if something is missing from or broken in my box?
We pack all of our boxes very carefully, but accidents can happen. If something is missing or broken from your box, please contact us as soon as possible at info@theknackbox.com and we will try to resolve it - usually by sending you a replacement.
What you'll need at home
