Nurturing your plants post-delivery
|| Congratulations on your new plant babies!
Proper care from the moment your plants arrive is crucial for their health and longevity. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to ensure your online plant purchase thrives in its new home.
Unboxing your plants: Handle with care
Upon receiving your package, gently open the box, paying attention to any packaging materials. Carefully unwrap each plant, being cautious not to break or bend any stems, leaves, or branches.
Prune dead branches or leaves
Pruning is a fundamental practice in plant care that involves selectively removing damaged or dead parts of the plant to bring back the overall health and aesthetic appeal of your plant.
Give your Plants a Good Drink
Immerse the unwrapped plants fully in water for a duration of 20 to 30 minutes. The water absorption helps replenish moisture lost during shipping and encourages the plant to recover from the journey's stresses.
Place in low sunlight
Avoid placing plants in direct sunlight immediately, as this could lead to sunburn or stress. Initial days keep them in a place where you get only 50% sunlight and gradually introduce them to full sunlight (7-10 days).
Water twice a day
Morning and evening are optimal for watering. Morning watering aids absorption before daytime heat. Evening watering replenishes soil moisture, helping plants endure the night and preventing dehydration.
Apply low dosage fertilizer to soil
After 3-4 days, apply any low-dosage fertilizer to the soil. This approach nourishes plants without the risk of over-fertilization. Before application, carefully read the instructions to determine the dosage.
Things to remember (Imporatant)
Avoid over fertilizing of plants
One of the common mistakes customers often make is the immediate application of fertilizer upon the arrival of their new plants. Unfortunately, this practice will create more stress on plants, as these fertilizers generate excess heat during the initial days of application.
Avoid over watering of plants
This common gardening mistake is often made with good intentions, as individuals may believe that providing ample water is beneficial for plant growth. However, excessive watering can have several adverse effects on plants.
Avoid over caring of plants
Overcaring for plants, while well-intentioned, involves providing excessive attention, nutrients, or interventions that can have unintended negative consequences on the plant's overall health and development.
