🚚 How do we ship plants, Part 3: it's Christmas - unwrapping is fun?

📦 In the previous videos (Part 1: prepare the plant and Part 2: packing in the box), we showed you how we ship the plant to you.

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.
