After the plants are sent, they should be unpacked and taken out from the old soil in the Central Plains. Then prepare a pair of small scissors and cut off the leaves and roots with poor growth. Put it in the disinfectant water and soak it for about 20 minutes to kill the bacteria it touched during transportation. After that, take it out for drying.

III. planting and maintenance

Take out the prepared flowerpot and soil. First put a layer of broken bricks in the basin, and then lay a thin layer of soil on the top. Then put the plant into the basin, and bury it with the remaining flower soil, so that its roots are all submerged in the soil. Then, put it in a slightly weak light and warm environment, and supply water regularly. When it adapts to the new environment, it will start to grow.
