💡 Care Tip: Keep your starter plant in its original container after arrival, then transplant into a 3–4 inch pot with well-draining soil. Avoid planting directly into the ground or a large container for at least 6 months, allowing the root system to establish. Gradually introduce the plant to full sun over several weeks. Temporary yellowing or leaf drop after shipping is common and usually resolves as the plant acclimates.
