I'm not sure what you're asking , but here's how I got past my own black thumb. I bought a beautiful plant, already blooming , in a pretty pot. I got it from a garden center and before I left I politely grilled the owner on the care and upkeep : feeding , watering , lighting . Eventually , I was able to transplant it to a larger pot. I should mention that I'm a huge fan of Miracle-Gro potting soil, I think it saved the plant. I just scooped everything from the smaller pot into the larger one and added more potting soil, pressed it firmly in , watered it, and prayed .
