After delivery, unpack your plants carefully, check for any damage, and place them in a suitable location. Water them lightly and allow them to acclimatize to their new environment.
Why these recommendations work in Indian homes
- Indian homes often have varying humidity levels, so acclimatization helps plants adjust.
- Light conditions can differ; placing plants in indirect sunlight initially prevents shock.
- Watering lightly prevents overwatering, which is a common issue in new plants.
- Checking for damage ensures that any issues are addressed promptly, promoting plant health.
