Best Locations For Growing Joly Lemon Nerve Plant
Ideal for terrariums, kitchens, bathrooms, or small spaces like bookshelves, the Joly Lemon Nerve Plant thrives in high-humidity environments and adds visual interest wherever it’s placed. Its compact size makes it perfect for tight spots, while its pet-friendly nature ensures safety around furry friends.
Joly Lemon Nerve Plant Sunlight Requirements
This plant prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant colors. Place it near an east- or north-facing window or in dappled light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves, and low light, which may cause dull foliage.
Joly Lemon Nerve Plant Care
Plant in a well-draining, organic potting mix, and keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Regular pruning helps to maintain its compact shape and encourages new growth. Due to its small root system, repotting is rarely needed, but select a snug container to support its growth.
Watering Joly Lemon Nerve Plant
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. If the leaves droop, it's a clear sign the plant needs a drink. Maintain high humidity with misting, a pebble tray, or a nearby humidifier to mimic its tropical origins.
Feeding Joly Lemon Nerve Plant
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted general-purpose liquid fertilizer. Skip feeding in the fall and winter when the plant naturally slows its growth.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
