My plants just arrived. Should I lwater them and leave them in the containers they shipped in for a week to recover from their trip?

I re-planted them two days after receiving them and watered them after. They are doing great.

I kept mine in their original pots for a few days. I put them on a tray since the pots have holes and I watered them. Hope that helps!

I've found that getting them planted in a new container and watering them right away keeps them healthy/happy. No need to wait. Succulents are hearty plants by nature. The only two things that can kill them are too much direct sunlight (some do ok, but I find they do best with partial sunlight) and watering them too often (water them every other week).

These are great for transporting lettuce and other greens from the market to your house. As far as storing them for time they are just adequate. Most refrigerators try to reduce moisture by pumping out air and since these are open aired, the moisture in greens goes with them. If you're only planning on a day or two they'll be fine, but if you're looking to store them for an extended time (which you really shouldn't since you're buying them fresh) they're not as good as plastic for retaining moisture. I hope this helps and I need to say that I love mine! Would order them again in a minute if I didn't have them!

i let them soak in lukewarm water for an about an hour before placing them in the soil ...this helps the tough seed to get hydrated...and germinate more quicklygerminate more quickly

You can place the water at the base of the plant. I use a large supply of water with fertilizer in it so my plants get fed & watered while I'm away.

Yes. Follow directions carefully to make sure water if flowing before you leave. Water container must be lower then the plant and you need to make sure water is being drawn up. I also attached a small stone to the bottom of tubing to make it sink to the bottom of the empty clear plastic gallon size milk jug.

That's a very good question and to be honest I don't know. But in my humble opinion I would keep an eye on the plants I had sprayed for any signs of trouble. If you see any of the problems you sprayed for originally then I would spray again. I would probably just continue with the original directions unless you see a problem. I apologize for not being of more help.

Hi Sharon, I left it in the pot it came in. I will repot it after one blooming cycle. My plant looks very healthy and was packaged with great care.

They were the plant. But the plant soil was very wet when they arrived. I sat them in the greenhouse, and within a week both plants toppled over from root rot. I managed to purchase a new plant from kroger in memphis. I was not happy with the plants at all. there was nothing I could do to save the plants. they had been over watered from the shipper, and the dirt was not the same that I had ever seen in other Aloe plants.

My opinion is that they should be placed in a paper bag instead. It is less likely that they will develop mold. Even then, they may have some mold on them when you return. Get them in the ground as soon as possible and you will be fine. Mr. E.

I would refrigerate them until you want to use them. I've had them all sitting out for about 4 months in the carrier and some have lost their flavor

No I don't recommend ever misting the air plants. If you want the best results you should soak them once per week for 1 hour and then make sure they are dry before night time. Also do not keep them in the direct sunlight. If you follow these instructions your plants will do very well. You can also feel the plants leaves to determine how well hydrated the plant is which will depend on how humid your climate is. If the leaves do not feel firm or succulent then the plant needs water and should be soaked for 1 hour. if the air is dry where you live you may need to soak them more than once per week. Letting the plants dry completely before night time is very important for the respiration of the plant which is when it grows. I hope this helps answer your questions.

no there packed in salt and will be fine once you open them then you should refrigerate.

When I got my succulents I opened the packages and laid the plants out for 3 or 4 days before putting them in dirt and then watering them. It only takes about a week for them to start getting roots. Don't overwater, succulents like to dry out between waterings.

If these are the cuttings you water them after you root them, if they are plants then soak them thoroughly when they arrive then every 10 days or when thy dry out. Hope this helps. :)

I think you would have no problem with your plants drying out in 3 days. These trays help reduce the evaporation in dry weather.
