Unpacking

Follow the steps below to unpack your boxes

Move boxes indoors or under a heavy shaded area for unpacking.
Place boxes right side up and cut the straps and tape sealed around the box.
Remove box cover, then remove packing material such as shredded newspaper and cotton packing material above first layer of plants.
Use a sharp edge to cut the packing tape that secure the plants together and to the box.
Gently lift plants one at a time, using one hand to support the pot and the other to hold the balance of the plant.
Remove the packing material VERY SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY surrounding the individual plants by cutting the rubber band and the plastic sleeve at the bottom, then removing the plastic sleeve from bottom to top. TAKE EXTRA TIME TO REMOVE ANY PACKING MATERIAL SURROUNDING THE INDIVIDUAL FLOWERS. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BREAK THE FLOWERS OFF THEIR STEMS!
Place plants in pot holder, tray, or heavy clay pots to keep them from tipping over. Remember to allow adequate space between the plants, as the plants and flowers need room to stretch and fresh air to move through them
