Some rules of plants purchase (Part 2)
Choosing a plant in a shop, pay attention to a place where it stands. Do not get plant which stood in passageway, near to open doors or closely to a window pane. If the plant stood in a passageway, it could be touched or even damaged, plants facing doors could suffer from drafts and sharp temperature differences. The plants put closely to a window pane could receive solar burns, or be injured from contact with a cold glass. All these situations can be invisible, but for sure will adversely affect the plant in the future.
Choosing a plant, touch the soil in a pot - it should be slightly moist, but not dry and not damp (if only a plant has not watered a minute ago). There should not be water in a tray. There should not be emptiness between walls of a pot and soil. There should not be a green or white coating on a clay pot. Leaves should be fresh and green without dust or webs. Look closely not only to your plant, but also to other plants. If these conditions are not observed, do not buy plants in this shop at all, as these are signs of not professionalism and it is possible, that all plants are infected with illnesses and wreckers.
- Take an interest how often sellers they spray plants and wipe leaves.
