| Product Care Instructions | After unpacking, place your new plants in bright, filtered light for the first few days to help them adjust. Avoid freezing or extreme heat. Keep the soil lightly moist, watering when the top inch feels dry. This short acclimation period helps your plant settle into its new environment. When transplanting, plant at the same soil depth as it was in the pot and ensure well-draining soil. Continue learning and observing your plant’s needs—sunlight, water, and rest will help it thrive. |
