Seedlings

Question

Our company purchased seedlings (evergreens/trees). Today is Friday and we aren’t handing them out until Monday. I received them in a box. I am putting them each in a bag with a little bit of water. Is that okay – until Monday. I don’t want them to root rot or dry out before then.
Thank you. Kathy

Answer 1

As long as you only put enough water in to moisten the soil. If there is extra water sitting in there, it could cause a rot problem. It is a delicate balance, but it is necessary to watch them, and keep them moist as needed.
