Not all plants can be planted to all kinds of soil, some plants need more compost and some need less. It is best to follow instructions from the packaging. When removing plants from pots, never force the plant out by pull or yank the plant because this can damage the roots. Instead, loosen the plant around pot by giving it a few taps with a trowel, support your plant by cupping the roots and invert the pot.

Lastly, make sure to water your new plant every so often and always check if it remains moist.
