Hi Everyone! I have so many questions, but I will try and ask one at a time

Why is it recommended that when you receive a plant, either brought home from a store in a pot, or shipped bare root, that some of the care instructions for repotting that I have read on the internet mention to not water the plants for a week or two? What is the purpose of this? Wouldn't it be better to water with something like Dyna Gro KLN to help with stress and transplant shock? They also mention to keep the plants in a shady area during this week or two time period....why why why? Sorry about all of the questions, I tried to stick to just one, but they all seem to relate to each other!

Thanks!
Becca
