Upon Your Plants' Arrival

Immediate Care Steps

To ensure your plants thrive, please follow these steps IMMEDIATELY upon delivery:

  • Unbox Your Plants Right Away

    Move the package indoors and remove plants from all shipping materials. Do not remove the compostable liners. Plant the liner directly into the soil to protect the sensitive root system.

  • Critical for Plants in Ceramic Pots

    Remove and discard the brown protective paper covering the soil surface. This paper is only used to keep soil in place during transit; leaving it on will prevent the plant from breathing and receiving water.

  • Temperature Check

    Ensure the plants are kept in a temperate environment (65‑75°F). Keep them away from cold drafts or direct heat vents.

  • Hydrate

    Give them a light watering with plain water (no fertilizer yet) to help them settle.

  • Acclimate

    Place them in a bright area (such as a greenhouse or well‑lit room), but avoid direct midday sun for the first 24 hours.

  • First Feeding

    Begin using Light Bio Petunia Nutrition on the 3rd day after arrival.

  • Understanding the Liner

    Your petunia is grown in a professional Ellepot (a thin, mesh-like compostable liner) around the root ball.

    DO NOT REMOVE IT!

  • Restore the Glow

    It is normal for plants to appear dim or experience a temporary loss of glow immediately upon unboxing. Because they were in a dark shipping box for several days, their metabolic momentum slowed. Give your plants several days of sunlight to fuel their energy; their bioluminescence will return as they recover from shipping stress. 

  • Understanding Plant Size

    Your plant may arrive with or without some flowers and buds, but don't worry! They grow rapidly and will be covered in glowing blooms within weeks of planting with proper care.
