: I don't like to over water a newly
: planted cycad that came in bare
: root. You don't know how much the
: plant is damaged from shipping and
: bare rooting and it is possible to
: have small cuts on it that would
: cause rot if kept too wet at first.
: I sort of lightly hit newly brought
: in plants. I just bought a bunch of
: bare rooted blue arenarius plants
: and what I do is spray the tops of
: the plants with the hose but try not
: to get too much in the soil until
: they have sat around for about a
: month or so to harden up, just in
: case there IS a problem.
