💡 Care Tip: Plant your Bay Laurel promptly after arrival in fertile, well-draining soil and water thoroughly to help the roots settle. Keep the plant protected from intense sun and extreme weather while it acclimates, then gradually introduce it to stronger light. Allow the upper layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings rather than keeping the roots constantly wet. Regular pruning can maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth.
