🌱 Just Got Your First Plant? Do This Immediately
Bringing home your first plant from Urban Bagicha is a special moment 💚 But remember — your plant has just completed a long journey to reach you. The first few hours are crucial to help it settle into its new home comfortably.
Open the packaging gently without rushing. Your plant is delicate, so avoid pulling it out forcefully. Treat it with care from the very first moment.
Take a photo or video and share it on @Instagram, @Facebook, or @Threads. Tag Urban Bagicha and unlock exclusive coupons & rewards 🎁
Carefully remove all plastic covering around the planter so your plant can breathe properly and adjust to its new environment.
Keep your plant in bright but indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight for the first few days as it may stress the plant after transit.
Check the soil using your finger. If it feels dry, add a small amount of water. Avoid overwatering — less is better initially.
Use a soft cloth to wipe the leaves and remove any dust collected during shipping. This helps the plant breathe and look fresh.
Do not move or touch the plant too much. It needs time to recover from the journey and adjust to its new surroundings.
Your plant may take a few days to fully adjust — and that’s completely normal. With a little patience and care, your Urban Bagicha plant will start thriving beautifully 🌱
