About Green Unicorn Farms
An established specialty in tropical indoor plants, we curate seasonal strategies for seasoned growers looking to optimize
growth, health, and blooms year-round. Our home base blends lush, vibrant aesthetics with rigorous horticultural practice.
Spring: Light & Bloom Prep
Seasonal Reset
Welcome the growing season with a strategic light schedule for high-light tropicals. Increase humidity subtly, prune for airflow,
and inspect for pests after winter dormancy. Use balanced, formulated fertilizers at half-strength to stimulate new growth.
Target indoor orchids, hoyas, ferns, and monstera types for initial bloom flush.
Summer: Hydration & Airflow
Peak Growth
Maintain consistent watering cycles for tropicals with well-draining media. Elevate humidity via pebble trays and gentle misting.
Ensure good air movement to prevent fungal issues on foliage. Pinch back leggy stems to encourage sturdier, bushier growth.
Autumn: Preparation & Rest
Rest Phase
Some tropicals slow down as days shorten. Reduce fertilization, monitor for pests emerging from dormancy, and shift to cooler nights.
Clean and repot select specimens as needed, focusing on root health and soil structure for the next cycle.
Winter: Maintenance & Planning
Off-Season
Focus on soil health, sterilization of pruning cuts, and equipment inspection. Plan a propagation schedule for spring cohorts.
Maintain steady moisture for tropicals that prefer consistent humidity, and inspect for signs of mineral burn from over-fertilization.
Care Guides for Advanced Indoor Growers
Dive into micro-climate management, soil science, and precision pruning tailored for high-performance tropical species.
Humidity Mastery
Maintain 60-75% RH for most tropicals. Use humidifiers with smart controls, and pair with passive methods like tray moisture and terrarium framing.
Light Fidelity
Align photosynthetic needs with a layered lighting approach: bright indirect for upper canopies and dusk-till-dawn cycling to mimic tropical diurnal patterns.
Soil & Roots
Use well-aerated mixes with perlite, orchid bark, or coco coir. Reserve a quarterly root check to refresh substrates and prevent compaction.
