webesemps said: 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.


Bev, when you set up your flat, is the soil moistened or dry?
Thanks!
Deb
