My First 3 new plants arrived the other day, was advised to put them into pots for the next month or so due to our current hot weather. Being Tissue culture plants they might burn etc if exposed to too much hot sun when first planted out.

Got a Blue Java, Dwarf Duccacas and a Goldfinger.

They arrived in tubestock pots, inside round cylindrical post tubes. Very rootboound but should grow out ok.

Potted up to harden up a bit.

They look nice! When you do put them out, acclimatize them a little bit at a time, so they don't shock.

I have already started sitting them in the sun a bit, as it actually hasnt been getting as hot the last few days, they are even getting some rain this afternoon.

cheers
