What Are Starter Plants

When you buy starter plants, you’re buying plants that are typically several weeks old, and have been nurtured through the most delicate early stages of growth by professional growers in a greenhouse. It’s like buying an already-roasted chicken at the grocery store — a lot of the work has already been done for you.

How do you plant a starter plant?

To acclimate your plants, start slow. For indoor plants, gradually move them to a sunnier location within your home each day until you are ready to take them outside. If you are already keeping your starter plants in the sunniest spot in the house, then take them outside and place them in the shade.
