A Guide to Transplanting House Plants

Attention! Don't water cactuses (with the exception of crab cactuses

plants should be watered the same day.

Question 18. How do you take care of recently transplanted

plants?

During the first two days, especially in hot weather or on sunny windows,

transplanted plants need shading. It's very useful to spray them with

water often. Don't, however, water them before the soil becomes dry.

Once every three to four weeks you can add a mineral fertilizer to plants

which have begun growing.

Useful pieces of advice

• House plants should be fed only during periods of growing (May-August).
• Thoroughly grind egg-shells and mix it with sugar powder to get a

  fine fertilizer for house plants.
