Top of root ball should sit slightly above ground level. - **Watering new plants:** Trees and shrubs — deep watering 2–3 times per week. Flowers — light daily watering until established. Adjust for weather. - **Yellowing leaves:** Usually overwatering, underwatering, or nutrient deficiency. - **Wilting after planting:** Often transplant shock; give time, water thoroughly, provide partial shade. - **Fertilizing:** Wait 4–6 weeks after planting before applying slow-release balanced fertilizer. - **Hardiness zones:** Customers are encouraged to enter their ZIP code on the site for zone-appropriate plant recommendations. - **Dormant vs dead:** Customers unsure whether a plant is dormant or dead can send a photo for help before filing a claim. ## Payment Methods - Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover - Apple Pay, Google Pay, Amazon Pay - PayPal - Shop Pay (and Shop Pay Installments for buy-now-pay-later) ## Policies - [Terms of Service](https://nationwideplants.com/pages/terms-of-service) - [Returns & Guarantee](https://nationwideplants.com/pages/our-guarantee) - [Web Accessibility](https://nationwideplants.com/pages/web-accessibility) - [California Privacy Rights](https://nationwideplants.com/pages/california-privacy-rights) ## Optional - [Order Status](https://nationwideplants.com/pages/order-status): Customer order lookup and tracking. - [Search](https://nationwideplants.com/search?q={query}): Storefront search endpoint. ## For Agents & Developers This store supports agent-oriented commerce discovery through Shopify.
