Plant Care 

Each centerpiece contains a native plant along with 3 to 4 herbs. Your centerpiece plants can be planted in the landscape or transplanted into larger containers as they grow. While your plants are in this bowl, be sure to water lightly as there are no drainage holes. In a longer term home, be sure to provide proper drainage for your plants. ​
