How do I care for newly arrived plants?

You should immediately open the box, and remove the plants. Place your tray of plants outside in a shaded area protected from direct sunlight or wind, such as a covered porch or alongside a building. If your plants are dry, then give them plenty of water so that the entire root ball is wet and is draining out of the tray.

Allow your plants to acclimate/adjust to the temperature and re-hydrate for 24 hours before planting. If you are unable to plant them shortly after the 24 hour period, keep them in the protected area and water them as needed until planted. Plants can dry out quickly while still in the plug tray. Weather permitting, we recommend that you transplant your plugs within 7 days of receiving your order.
