Verdeia tips
- Upon receipt, take the plant out of its box and allow it 24 to 48 hours to acclimate in a bright place without direct sunlight.
- Check the soil moisture before watering; add a little water only if the surface is dry.
- Avoid heat sources and drafts, and keep a slightly humid atmosphere to preserve the beauty of the foliage.
- Wait 2 to 3 weeks before any repotting, allowing the plant time to stabilize.
- Gently wipe the leaves to remove dust and observe them: slight stress during the first few days is completely normal.
