Bringing Home a New Plant? Here's Your Essential Guide! 🏡🌿 From my recent acquisition, the stunning Alocasia Frydek variegated, from @Rare Plant Fairy 🧚‍♀️ Step 1: Pest Prevention Protocol: Before anything else, give your new plant a gentle spray with your preferred pesticide. I'm using DeadAF from @The Plant Bar Co , followed by a thorough wipe-down with a dedicated microfiber cloth. Ensuring every nook and cranny gets some love! Step 2: Quarantine Zone Setup: Pop your plant into a decorative pot temporarily while you quarantine it for at least two weeks. This step is crucial for preventing any potential pest outbreaks from spreading to your other plant babies. Step 3: Lighting Solutions: If you're worried about compromising on light during quarantine, consider investing in a sleek @Sansi Light light. With adjustable brightness and timer settings, it's the perfect solution to keep your new plant thriving while in isolation. Step 4: Watering Wisdom: Before you reach for that watering can, double-check if your plant has been recently watered. Nurseries often hydrate plants before shipping, so adding more water right away could lead to dreaded root rot. And there you have it! With these simple yet effective steps, your new plant will settle into its new home with ease, and you'll enjoy a thriving and pest-free indoor jungle in no time! 🌱💚 #PlantCareTips #NewPlantJourney #PlantParenting101 #IndoorJungle #HappyPlantsHappyHome #planttok #plantsoftiktok #alocasiacare #beginnerplantparent #plantparent #planttips #alocasiafrydek
