My mystery box just came in and performed these steps:
Unwrap and soak plants in Distilled water for ~20-25 min.
While soaking I mixed Distilled Water, Peat Moss, Perlite (1:1).
Poked holes in the bottom of all the Styrofoam cups.
Filled and lightly packed the cups with the media.
Planted each plant so that the light area wasn't visible.
Watered all the plants so the water would finish packing the media. (Watered until it drained out of the cup onto the ground)
Once all the cups had drained I placed them in the trough with the small amount of remaining media.
Moved trough from outside where I was working to inside next to a south facing window.
I tried to take pictures for you but I only have my dad's camera which is fancy and I have no idea how to use. Actually I cant use any camera... I took more pictures today than I have in my entire life. They were painfully fuzzy, but I cropped each picture so you could see the least fuzzy parts of each plant. Either way here is my haul.
