# I just moved across country and hade to give all my plants away…

I just moved across country and hade to give all my plants away except one that was gifted to me. I packed and shipped as safely as possible. I received it today. I watered it. What else should I do? It only lost 1 leaf.

As long as the pot has drainage I would just leave it be. For a little while anyway since it just had the big change. And then after that if you want to move it over to a nursery pot to make it easier to monitor when it needs water you can. The soil also looks a little dense I would probably add a little extra drainage to it but again after the plant has adjusted and is doing well in its new environment.
