KEY TIPS – Cut away old leaves that yellow as the plant grows taller. This is normal growth patterns as the plant grows taller. If your plant gets too much heavy foliage at the top, you may cut back to encourage new firmer growth. Do so in the spring. Cut about two inches below the last set of leaves on any or all of the braids.
PLANT Preparation- Cut away any yellow or brown leaves or broken stems that may have occurred.  This grooming is normal and will take place as the plant grows.
SHELF LIFE – Unpack immediately. Water the plants thoroughly letting the excess water drain through the bottom of the pot(s).
POTTED PLANTS- You may transplant into larger 6 -8 inch container. Place a little deeper than before. Pack soil firmly around the base and roots enough so that the plant stands upright. You may repot one pot size a year up to a 12 inch container. The bigger the pot the bigger they grow and the bigger the braids.
