Newbie, got these young plants in the mail but not ready to plant yet, what should I be doing to care for them until then?


Next weekend there is going to be rain and lows of 45 at night so I don’t think I should harden off and plant before then. Highs are between 80-63. Will they be okay in these pots or should I upsize to solo cups? Can I keep them in a south facing window until then or should I put them under grow lights? Any tips appreciated

    These look gorgeous to have had traveled in the mail.

    Lucky you.

    Needs a warm south-facing window (if northern hemisphere).

    If no windows, and cold out, needs artificial lights. LEDs do well, 8 hours a day. In a warm place.

    Do water them now. But never drench.

    Do not over water.

    A fan indirectly, to keep off excess moisture and strengthen them.

    No fertilizer needed until after transplanted and adjusted to life outside.
