Planting Bagonia's!?

Question

Ok,
So my mum bought 4 bagonia plants yesterday at Whole Foods market, not realising that we can't plant them today, nor the next day, at least not for another couple of days. So I want to know, what do I do while there in my house, to keep them alive until I can plant them outside? They're in little pre planters pots with holes at the bottom, so should I place bowls under them for water? I'm at a total non-understandment here, so any help would be absolutely adored and loved!!! :P Thank you so much in advance!!!

p.s. They're also sitting in the brown paper back ( the bags open but still) that they arrived in! So help!!

Answer 1

The little starter containers you are referring to are meant to be used for a fairly short period of time. There is little potting soil in them and plants quickly become root bound. They dry out very quickly and the plant can easily become stressed.

Take the plants out of the bag. Place the pots on some dinner plates and place them in a sunny area of your home, but not in direct sunlight. Pour some water in the dinner plate. The plant will soak up the water from the bottom of the pot. The key is to not flood the plant. They should be OK for several days before they are transplanted outdoors.

Good luck with your new begonias.

Answer 2

Take them out of the bag place a plate under them and give a ( little ) water and place in window seal or in a sunny spot until you can plant them...

Answer 3

Take them out of the sack so they get some air flow. They really like to be dry, so DO NOT SET THEM IN A BOWL! Water them once and just set them in a spot with indirect sunlight until you can get them in the ground!

Answer 4

keep it watered it will be OK for days, no need to worry, it will be fine.
