How to care for a Koala Plant Hanger
Watering the Koala Plant Hanger
The Koala Hanging Plant prefers even soil moisture, but not soggy potting mix. Water generously about once a week, keeping the soil slightly moist. Check each time that the top layer of potting mix feels dry; otherwise, wait a few days before watering again. For optimal water management, you can add hydroponic clay pebbles, such as hydroponic clay pebbles and Leca .
Light for the Koala Plant Hanger
This hanging plant prefers a spot with plenty of indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, while too little light stunts growth. A northeast-facing window or a well-lit living room is ideal. Want to know more about the light requirements of your other aroid companions?

Is the Koala Plant Hanger poisonous?
The Koala Hanging Plant belongs to the Araceae family and contains calcium oxalates. This makes the plant slightly toxic to pets and children if leaves are accidentally eaten. Fortunately, the chance of a large portion being eaten is small, especially if you place the hanging plant at a safe height. Looking for a non-toxic option?

Frequently occurring problems
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves can indicate either too much or too little water. First, check the potting soil and adjust your watering routine. Overly wet soil can be improved by repotting the plant in fresh, airy potting soil ( potting soil for aroids-5l ).
Plant dripping or leaking water
If water drips from the pot, the drainage layer may be insufficient. Make sure the pot has drainage holes and a layer of hydroponic clays at the bottom. A 5L potting mix for syngoniums combined with hydroponic clays can better regulate excess moisture.
Pests (paws or lice)
Spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects are the biggest pests of aroids. Regularly check the undersides of leaves for small insects or sticky residue. Treat infestations immediately with an environmentally friendly spray or use sticky traps for fungus gnats as a preventative measure.
Roots grow from the soil
With healthy growth, the forked tip of the potted roots may become visible at the bottom. In that case, repot the Koala Plant Hanger in a pot one size larger. Use a well-aerated mix such as potting soil for aroids 5l and place the root balls on a well-draining substrate.
Brown edges on the leaves
Brown edges often indicate dryness or excessively hot air. Ensure sufficient humidity by using a plant sprayer, such as the . Give the plant an extra mist occasionally and move it away from heating elements.
