Step-by-step guide — like the manual that comes with the plant
Unbox & Acclimatize
- Carefully open the package — inspect leaves and roots for any transit stress.
- Place the plant in a shaded, cool area for 1–2 days before shifting to its final spot.
- Do NOT water immediately after delivery — let the plant settle first.

- Add a 1–2 inch layer of gravel or broken pot pieces at the bottom for drainage.
- Fill the pot 1/3 with your prepared mix before placing the plant.
Plant the Sapling
- Cut the nursery bag carefully from the sides — never pull the plant out by its stem.
- Place the root ball in the centre. Keep the graft joint (knobby bump) above soil level.
- Fill soil around the roots firmly, pressing gently to remove air pockets.
First Watering
- Water slowly and thoroughly until water drains freely from the bottom holes.
