What Live Plants Need
Live plants are just that — living things. From the moment they leave our care, they begin adjusting to a new environment, and a little patience and support can make all the difference in helping them settle in and thrive.
🌱 On Arrival
When your plants arrive, they may look slightly tired from their journey. This is completely normal. We recommend:
-
Unpacking your plants as soon as possible
-
Giving them a gentle drink of water if the compost feels dry
-
Allowing them time to rest and recover before repotting or planting out
Most plants will perk up within 24–72 hours.
☀️ Light & Warmth
-
Place plants somewhere bright but sheltered
-
Avoid direct, strong sunlight for the first few days
-
Keep them away from cold draughts, radiators, or sudden temperature changes
This helps prevent shock and encourages steady growth.
💧 Watering
-
Water lightly at first — compost should be moist, not soggy
-
Avoid overwatering, as roots need oxygen to recover from transit
A gentle, consistent approach is best.
🪴 Planting Out
-
If planting outdoors, harden off gradually over several days
-
Protect from frost, strong winds, and heavy rain
-
Spring and autumn weather can be unpredictable, so extra care helps young plants establish well
🌼 A Little Patience Goes a Long Way
Some plants may lose a leaf or look slower to respond after delivery — this is a natural part of adjusting to a new home. With the right care, most plants recover beautifully and go on to thrive.
