Products & Care
Yes. All our candles are hand-poured using 100% natural soy wax and lead-free cotton wicks. For safety, always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface, keep it away from drafts, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use for a clean, even burn.
Our bulbs and seeds are selected for success in a wide range of USDA hardiness zones, with a focus on Mediterranean and temperate climates similar to our home in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Each packet includes specific planting instructions. If you are unsure about your zone, you can check the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map or email us at info@nestldown.store.
Your kit includes detailed instructions. In short: plant the seed just below the surface of the provided soil, keep the pot in bright indirect light, and maintain consistent moisture without overwatering. Redwood seedlings prefer cool, humid conditions and can be transplanted outdoors once they reach 6 to 8 inches tall and the weather is mild.
Yes. We recommend washing our Belgian linen products in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Tumble dry on low or line dry for the softest texture. Iron while slightly damp for a crisp finish, or embrace the natural wrinkle for a relaxed, organic look.
Yes. All redwood used in our products comes from salvaged fallen trees, reclaimed lumber, or FSC-certified sources. We never harvest from living old-growth trees. Sustainability is core to how we steward the land at Nestldown.
