Your plant’s first week
Help your new plant settle in.
Step by step
- 1
Unpack & inspect
Unpack promptly and inspect leaves, stems, and soil. Keep it apart from other plants while checking for pests.
- 2
Find a suitable spot
Place it where the light suits the species and keep it away from strong draughts.
- 3
Give it time
Check soil moisture before watering. Give the plant time to adjust before routine feeding or repotting.
Common mistake
Changing its light, pot, watering, and fertiliser all at once.
In practice
If a delivered philodendron arrives with damp soil, check again later before adding water.
