Purchasing indoor plants only seems like a simple task, because you just need to go to the store and buy the desired option.
But this is only the beginning of the home gardener’s journey, as the necessary preparations must still be made.
For example, it is important to arrange a kind of “quarantine” for plants before placing flowers near other plants.
Let us turn to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Why you can't put new flowers next to other plants at once
It is advisable to keep the flower in “quarantine” for at least one week – choose a place for the new arrival in accordance with its needs.
Even if it is a shade-tolerant plant, it is better to place it in a semi-shaded place.
It is better not to place a light-loving plant directly on a southern window - like all flowers, they must have time to go through an adaptation period.
Over the course of 2-3 days, carefully inspect the new flower for the presence of diseases or pests.
