Hello everyone.
I have a small problem that I would like as many ideas as possible about. Most of these plants that I am collecting here in Colombia get damaged when I collect them as it is not possible to collect a whole plant that is 40 feet long with leaves 3X4 feet. My question is how do I help prevent or combat transplant stress? I have heard old wives tales that say to water with distilled water, or not feed right away. I have also heard to feed a balanced mix. I have also heard to keep the plant in the dark for a couple days to recover. I have tried many methods, but I want to hear what you seasoned plant fanatics have to say?
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Noel
