Equipment

  • 1 6" plant pot
  • 2 cups potting soil
  • 1 plant start
  • 1 plant care instruction card

Instructions

  • Add 1/2 cup of potting soil to the bottom of the pot
  • Remove the plant start from its packaging and place in the middle of the pot, on top of the potting soil
  • Add more potting soil until the roots are covered and you reach the base of the plant
  • Generously water your plant – enough to moisten the soil without drowning the plant. TIP! Add ¼ cup of water at a time, pouring around all sides of the plant.
  • Place on your yard, porch, or near a window
  • After you’ve potted your plant, follow the instructions on your plant care instruction card to keep it growing!
