3Habitat Setup

It's important to have the growing setup ready before your 水草 arrives. Complete the setup in advance so you're not scrambling on arrival day.

Temperature Control

Prepare an environment that holds the proper temperature range for 水草. A heater for winter or shading/greenhouse for summer may be needed.

Light

Secure appropriate sunlight for 水草. Use a grow light if indoor light is insufficient.

Pot

Choose a pot suited to your 水草's size and growth. Consider its mature size and root development as well.

Watering/Humidity

Prepare an environment that maintains the proper watering frequency and humidity for 水草. Plan for saucers and a misting bottle.

4Arrival Day

Unboxing

Open the package as soon as your 水草 arrives and check its leaves and roots. Open carefully to minimize stress on the plant.

Acclimation

Slowly bridge the gap between transit conditions and your growing environment. Sudden changes or direct sun stress your 水草.

Moving to Its Spot

Once acclimated, move your 水草 to the prepared spot.

Health Check & Confirmation

Verify your 水草 is in good condition and press the "Confirm Arrival" button on GrowerDirect to complete the transaction.

5First Week Care

The first week is crucial for your 水草 to adjust to its new environment. Watch for the following key points.

Days 1-2

Settling In

Let your 水草 rest in a quiet spot with bright, indirect light. Hold off on repotting and strong direct sun to reduce stress.

Days 3-4

First Watering & Health Check

Start light watering while monitoring your 水草's leaf turgor, color, and overall health.

Days 5-7

Establishing Routine

As your 水草 settles in, begin regular care routines including watering, light management, and checking when to repot.

Important Notes After Arrival

If you notice any plant health issues during the first week, contact the grower immediately via messaging. Our support team can also assist before arrival confirmation.
