    Today I received in the mail a "size 2" (2x1.5) Seriyu, Peaches & Cream & Fireglow. They came balled wrapped in plastic. My question is - how should I care for them till I plant them, hopefully this weekend. Should I temporarily open the ball and put them in individual containers or will they be OK for a few days left untouched. They were shipped on the 19th so they have been in this state for 3 days. This is my first mail order experience and I am a newbie to most of this. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you very much.

    They should be fine til the weekend....only the rootball is wrapped in plaastic, right? If the entire plant is wrapped, definitely open! Place in a shady location in a small container to keep them upright. Good luck!

    Yes, only the ball is wrapped in plastic. Do they need any water from now till then. And thank you very much.
