Mail order clems in bad shape!

19 years ago

I got an order from Garden Crossings, but the box got put aside and not opened for a week! The soil was still moist, but the plants are all brown. I'm praying that they'll bounce back. GC is in Michigan, and I'm in Alabama, if that means anything. Any suggestions?

It's a shame you didn't open it for a week...the leaves are probably brown from no light...they are most probably still viable since the soil stayed moist..you can either repot in a one-gallon or out into your gardens...make sure you put some bonemeal in the planting hole and plant 2-4 inches deeper than the pots they are in ...keep moist....Jeanne
