Plant Care
To repot a plant, you'll need potting soil mix, a pot, water, and gloves. First, prepare by laying a layer of potting mix in the pot. Then, gently remove the plant from its current pot, loosening the roots if necessary. Check the roots and loosen the root ball if it's root-bound. Place the plant in the new pot, filling in around it with soil. Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom. Avoid fertilizing right after repotting, especially in fall; wait until early spring instead. Check out our repotting blog for more. https://costafarms.com/blogs/get-growing/repotting-houseplants
- Most of the plants in our online plant shop have been grown for indoor use and do best indoors.
We do offer outdoor plants during specific seasons. Plant Annuals and Tropical Plants after your area’s last spring frost date. Most Perennials are more cold-resistant and may be planted even if your area experiences a light frost or two.
Tips: Arrange plants in the bed or pot beforehand, considering spacing based on the plant’s mature size. Ensure they receive enough sunlight; at least 6 hours a day is best for “full sun” plants. Water plants before removing them from pots and loosen tightly packed root balls. Plant in a hole slightly larger than the root ball and water thoroughly afterward. Use quality potting mix for container plants, preferably with slow-release fertilizer.
Proper watering is crucial for plant health, but it's easy to over or underdo it. Different plants have varying water needs; for instance, succulents may only require watering once or twice a month, while peace lilies and ferns may need weekly watering. Most houseplants benefit from watering every 8-10 days but adjust based on your environment. Use these guidelines for watering amounts based on container size. Consider environmental factors like temperature, as the soil dries slower in cooler conditions and faster in warmer ones. Always check soil moisture before watering and avoid letting plants sit in standing water for too long.
