Summarize this article in one sentence.
Choose a spot that isn't full sun (unless the plant is a succulent, cactus, or a plant with flowers). Also, don't pick a spot that gets extreme temperatures. A sunny room is a good choice, but set the plant out from the window 4 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5m) so that it gets indirect light. Leave the plant in this spot to help it adjust. Resist the temptation to move the plant around or to transplant it into a new pot. Let the soil dry out almost completely before giving it its first watering. After being moved around among several different environments, the plant is in a state of semi-shock and needs time to adjust to yet another environment. Isolate new plants from other plants in the house to prevent the spread of diseases and pests. Avoid placing a warmth-loving species in the greenhouse or warm room right away, even if it loves the situation. Many florists and garden centers keep plants in lower temperatures, and if you make the plant too warm at first, it can lead to shock. The plant has probably been fertilized at some point. The plant already has enough nutrients, and adding more could do more harm than good. After about a year, the plant may need fertilizer. Check on what that species needs specifically, as some do not need fertilizer at all.

Summary:
Pick a good spot in your house. Avoid fertilizing the plant.
