Care Tips

Plant promptly after arrival in rich, well-draining soil and water thoroughly to help roots settle. Position in partial shade or filtered light during acclimation and maintain consistent soil moisture. Avoid heavy pruning or strong fertilizer immediately after shipping. Prune carefully once established as buds may form on older growth. Allow the starter plant time to recover from transit and develop new roots and growth before expecting mature flowers.
