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.

👽 Why Sphynx cats always need a sweater?

• <
  😺 Pelmen is a Sphynx cat. Sphynx is the famous hairless cat breed. He looks bald, but really has a soft peach-fuzz coat that feels like suede.
• <
  😺 Look, this summer Pelmen even got a suntan! His head is tanned while the rest stayed pale. Why? Because he was wearing a sweater outside! (Yes, he owns a whole wardrobe… the definition of a spoiled baby)
• <
  😺 Why a sweater? Sweaters aren’t just for fashion. Since Sphynx cats lack a fur coat, they need extra warmth, regular baths to wash off skin oils, and sun protection.
• <
  😺 The Sphynx may look like a little alien, but they’re really velcro cats - clingy, cuddly, and people-loving. The breed began in 1966 when a hairless kitten named Prune was born in Canada. From that quirky start, the Sphynx became one of the most affectionate cats around.

🍴 10-minute recipe Bo La Lot with a leaf you’ve never cooked before!

• &🌮 Forget boring tacos - this wrap will blow your mind! In Vietnam they call it Bo La Lot - beef wrapped in peppery Lalot leaves.
• &🌮 It started as grape leaf wraps in the Middle East, but in tropical Asia grapes don’t grow, so people swapped to Lalot. Way more flavor than grape leaves!
• &🌮 Grilled beef, garlic, onion, lemongrass - all can be tucked into these shiny green leaves. Smoky, juicy, and so good you’ll wonder why you didn't try it sooner! It's better than grape leaf wraps, because it has so much flavor!
• &🌮 Most large leaf pepper plants will work for this recipe - Vietnamese pepper Lalot (Piper sarmentosum), Betel Leaf (Piper betle), or even large leaves of the traditional Black Pepper plant (Piper nigrum).
