How to take care of your mail order plant (potted plant)



When your plant arrives, carefully remove it from the box and water it right away.
  • Place it in bright light but out of direct sun for the first few days so it can recover from shipping.
  • Keep the soil evenly moist, not soggy.
  • After about a week, gradually introduce it to more sun or move it to its permanent spot.
  • Read detailed instructions.


🌴 How to plant your mail order plant in the ground

  • Don't put a new plant straight from the box into the ground!
  • First, pot it up and let it recover and grow strong for a few weeks.
  • Once it's well established, choose a sunny, well-drained spot outdoors.
  • Dig a hole twice as wide as the pot, place the plant at the same depth, and backfill with good, rich soil.
  • Water thoroughly to settle the roots and add mulch around the base, keeping it away from the stem.
  • Keep watering regularly until the plant takes off.
  • Read detailed instructions.
