Please check and inform yourself upfront about the specific seed treatment needed to achieve a high germination rate before purchasing. Some seeds may take several months to show seedlings.\u003cbr\u003eFor Plants:\u003cbr\u003eStarter plants are well-rooted but still young. For best results, avoid transplanting into a large pot right away. Gradually increase pot size to support healthy growth. Plants are shipped either in their pots to protect the roots or bare root, depending on the variety and best shipping method. Please do not put your plant into full sunlight upon arrival. Find a shady spot and adjust the plant to full sunlight gradually.\u003cbr\u003eFor Cuttings:\u003cbr\u003eCuttings are unrooted unless otherwise stated. Rooting success depends on your growing environment, propagation method, and care.
