A PixiePlant is a small, living plant which prospers in a small bio-dome. There are air holes on the top and watering holes on the bottom. It is a miniature live plant that encourages learning, stimulates thought, and creates joy... just like any pet! If you take good care of your PixiePlant it will grow and become a thriving plant. This Pixieplant is very hardy and can survive without water for many weeks. Keep in mind: better too less than too much water. But you have to make sure that they get sufficient light in order to survive.
