One of the biggest killers of newly aquired plants is the purchasers good intentions.

That is the Ill plant it later, Syndrome.

Unfortunately for the plant or tray of seedling, that later doesnt come soon enough to save the from dying of thirst.

That is the intention of plant out these newly acquired plants, but which are left at the back door. While the owner gets distracted by lifes other happenings, until they die.

What you can do to prevent plants dieing from Good Intentions.

1. Position them on a tray or base filled with water.

2. Post a note to yourself, on your fridge, phone, computer, etc.

3. Put a plastic bag over them, and place them in a cool shady spot till your ready.

4. Group them together with your other potplants.

5. Place them in a sink, laundry tub, or bath etc. with a little water in the bottom.

6. Delegate the planting to a partner, child etc.

8. deliberately not go inside till its planted and watered.

9. leave it somewhere prominent to remind us, as enter and exit the house.

10. give it away to someone else for their garden.

These plants cost us a fortune over the years, and yet we can ill afford to throw this money away, intentionally. Yet we do so often lose plants or seedlings from this afliction.
