New plants arrived today

My wife just sent me some pics of my new figs that just arrived today from Brugmansia-Quebec.

I was just curious if you guys think I should up-pot these right away or not? Also, any suggestions for care of new plants would be appreciated eg: watering, fertilizing etc.

FYI, the plants are:

LSU purple
Brunswick
Kadota
Marseilles Black

Nice! I cant offer much in the way of advice as I am quite the novice.. But I do have a little bit of fig envy! Grats! lol

Can you see roots through the plastic bags?

If they were mine, I'd up-pot to 1 or 2 gallon pots. Careful of full sun right away, light feeding after a week or 10 days. They look good.

I will be getting mine from him today, anytime I have ordered from him, I always up pot to a 1 gallon, worked out well for me in the past.  But yes, keep out of full sun, the leaves will burn off if in direct sun, need to harden them off after being in the box.

I always give them a week or two recovery time (starting in the shade and easing into partial sun) before potting up or messing with their roots.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'll leave them for a bit in the shade, then pot-up.

Yes, they should have a period of recovery time, starting in the shade and then to part-sun. Then, pop-up.
