What should I do if my plant looks stressed after shipping?
It’s normal for plants to show minor signs of stress after being in transit, such as drooping or slight discoloration. Don’t worry—most plants recover quickly. Gently unpack your plant and give it some time to adjust to its new environment. Place it in a bright spot with indirect light, and avoid watering immediately unless the soil feels completely dry.

Should I water my plant immediately after receiving it?
Before watering, check the soil. If the top 1-2 inches feel dry, go ahead and water your plant thoroughly. If the soil is still moist, wait a few days before watering. Overwatering can cause root rot, so it’s important to assess the soil moisture before deciding.
When should I repot my plant after receiving it?
We recommend waiting about 2-3 weeks before repotting your plant. This gives the plant time to acclimate to its new surroundings. Once it has settled, choose a pot that’s slightly larger than the current one and use fresh, well-draining soil to repot it.
How do I know when to fertilize my new plant?
Most plants don’t need to be fertilized immediately after arriving. Allow your plant to adjust to its new environment for a few weeks before introducing fertilizer. Start fertilizing during the growing season (spring and summer) using a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once every 4-6 weeks.
Where should I place my new plant?
The right placement depends on your plant’s light requirements. Most plants prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions. Check the care instructions for your specific plant to find the ideal spot. Avoid placing your plant in direct sunlight unless it’s a sun-loving species like cacti or succulents, as this can cause leaf burn.
My plant has some yellow leaves—what should I do?
Yellowing leaves can be a sign of stress, either from overwatering, lack of light, or the plant adjusting to its new environment. Remove the yellow leaves to help the plant focus its energy on healthy growth. Monitor the plant’s care conditions to ensure it’s getting the right amount of water and light.
Should I prune or trim my plant after receiving it?
If your plant has damaged or yellowing leaves, it’s okay to gently prune those away. However, avoid heavy pruning right away—give your plant time to settle in before making major cuts. Pruning helps redirect energy to healthy growth and keeps your plant looking its best.
How do I help my plant adjust to its new environment?
When you first bring your plant home, place it in an area with the right light and humidity for its species. Avoid making sudden changes, like moving it to a different location or changing its watering schedule. Gradually introduce any adjustments to give your plant time to adapt.
