What Does A New Plant Need?

When you bring a new plant home, it will need quite a bit more water than it would usually require once it becomes acclimated to it’s new surroundings (consider it like intensive care for a few weeks). This doesn’t mean you should drown it. Just be on the lookout for signs that it may be dehydrated; i.e. oldest leaves drop off, plant wilts, flower buds fall off, no new leaves appear or if they do, they are very small.
