I do not pot immediately but set up a flat with soil and lay the semps on top of or set slightly into the soiI. I do not water but just do gentle misting for a few days and then gradually water the soil.
I set out the plants progressively in shade and and only when they look kind of settled do I put them in partial sun. I don't make the assumption that the plants received were already acclimated in full sun. I try to pay special attention to what the plants looked like when I first receive them and then compare to what they look like after being with me to gauge whether they may need more shade or are drying up or whatever adjustments.
