It's always something :)
Usually when I order plants I sit here waiting and waiting for them.
Not these babies- I no more than clicked "place your order" than they had them in the mail and arriving at my house days before I expected them.
I will not have their spot ready until Saturday morning :(
I have the roots wrapped in paper toweling and then the plants sitting in a couple of inches of cool water with a drop of Superthrive. The water is not above the crown and neither is the paper toweling- they are sitting in a cool garage with some very bright indirect light.
Will this arrangement work until Saturday AM?
Should I change the water daily?
Pull them out and let them air in damp paper towels for a bit each day?
I have pots and potting mix but they are going into the ground Saturday- I don't mind potting them up if that is best but wondered about the stress to the plant and don't know which way they are better off.
So... pot or leave in water?
And if I leave them in water do I change it or air the roots ever?
