Unpacking Your Doc Block Brielle x Zara
Congratulations on your new plant! If you’ve purchased a Doc Block Brielle x Zara from me, follow these simple steps to help it transition smoothly into its new environment:
- Inspect the Plant
Examine the leaves and stems for any minor transit stress. A few bent leaves are normal and will recover quickly.
You may notice a friendly ladybug or two – they’re part of our natural pest control system and completely harmless to your plant! - Carefully Unbox the Plant
Gently remove the plant from its packaging to avoid damage to its delicate leaves and roots.
Check the soil moisture by touching the top layer. If it feels dry, give it a small drink of water. - Allow the Plant to Acclimate
Place your Doc Block Brielle x Zara in a spot with bright, indirect light for the first few days.
Avoid repotting immediately; allow the plant to adjust for 1-2 weeks before making any changes.

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch its leaves, while low light may cause slow growth.

Avoid overwatering, as excess moisture can lead to root rot. Use room-temperature, filtered water if possible.
🌡 Humidity & Temperature
Prefers high humidity levels; consider misting, grouping it with other plants, or using a humidifier.
Ideal temperature: 75°-85°F. Keep away from drafts, heaters, and air conditioners.

Use a well-draining mix, such as a blend of orchid bark, perlite, and peat moss.
Fertilize lightly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to half strength.

Trim any damaged or yellowing leaves to maintain its striking appearance.
Repot every 1-2 years, or when you notice roots circling the bottom of the pot.
