7. How to treat plant purchases

Indoor plants:

Position, water and feed according to the label's instructions or a good reference book.


Outdoor plants:

  • Harden them off by gradually introducing them to outdoor temperatures in the day, bringing in at night, then leaving out during mild nights, and planting once the frosts have finished.


  • Thoroughly soak the plants the night before planting out to give them a good start. Also fill the planting hole with water and allow it to drain away before planting to ensure establishment if a dry spell occurs. Then there is no need to water, unless there is a prolonged drought.
