Take a couple of days and drink the amount of coffee you typically drink. Take note of how much you consume, including number of cups and the sizes of each cup. Once you have a solid baseline, prepare yourself to start the process of quitting, when you'll drink less. Drink extra water as you begin to quit. Being hydrated helps ease caffeine withdrawal. If you normally drink one cup of coffee per day, drink half a cup. If you normally drink four cups, drink two. If you want to drink the same amount of coffee but less caffeine, you can replace half of the coffee with decaf coffee. If you're not sure how much coffee you normally drink, simply pour yourself half a cup every time that you would normally pour yourself a full cup. This will get your body used to a lower amount of caffeine. Drink extra water during this step to help your body detox. After a few days at this lower level of caffeine, you should not feel any withdrawal symptoms. If you do feel any withdrawal symptoms after a few days, stay at this level of caffeine intake until the symptoms (drowsiness, headache, shakiness) go away. If you'd gotten down to half a cup per day, now only drink a quarter of a cup. If you went from four cups to two, now go from two to one. You may now be drinking very little coffee. If you still want to have something hot to sip on, fill your mug with decaffeinated coffee to add volume. Decaf contains caffeine, but the amount (only a few milligrams per cup) is generally considered negligible. You may want to stay at this level of coffee intake for a few days as well. This time, you won't drink any regular coffee at all. Many people enjoy drinking decaf, since it satisfies the psychological need for coffee. You can choose to replace all of your daily coffees with decaf, or to refrain from coffee altogether. Choose good decaf that you like. Dedicated coffee drinkers often complain that decaf doesn't taste as good as regular. If you choose a high quality decaf, you likely won't taste the difference! If you're trying to quit coffee altogether, you'll want to replace the decaf as well. Start by drinking decaf mixed with a coffee substitute. Dandelion root and chicory are common substitutes for coffee. Many brands offer "coffee style" instant beverages made from these plants. You can drink them just as you would coffeeadding cream and sugar if you like. Eventually, replace all of the decaf with your coffee substitute. You may decide to go without the substitute completely if you don't care for it very much.

Seedlings and rooted cuttings are typically transplanted during the early to mid spring, after the threat of frost has passed. If you started your cuttings early in the summer, though, they might be ready to transplant by mid autumn. Even so, you should only transplant cuttings in autumn if the soil is still warm and the threat of frost is still two or more weeks away. Photinia should be planted in an area that receives full sun to partial shade. You can grow photinia in areas of full shade, but the shrub will yield fewer flowers and will be more susceptible to leaf spot and other fungi. If you live in USDA Zone 6, you will need to choose a growing site that sits on the southern or western side of a building. The structure can help protect photinia from harsh winter winds that could otherwise kill the plant. These shrubs will grow best in soil that is fertile and well-draining. This may mean that you will need to amend the soil before planting any seedlings. If you have clay soil or other poorly drained soil, you should mix in few handfuls of well-rotted compost or manure before transplanting your seedling. Coarse agricultural sand can be used to improve soil drainage, as well. The soil should also be neutral to mildly acidic, with a pH range between 3.7 and 7.3. If the soil is too alkaline, you may need to add agricultural lime, hardwood ash, manure, or potassium carbonate to help drop the pH. Mix any soil amendments into the soil at a depth between 6 and 12 inches (15 and 30 cm). Use a trowel or small shovel to dig a hole that roughly matches the depth of the seedling's current container. The hole should also be about twice as wide in diameter as the current container. Carefully remove the seedling from its current container and place it in the center of the planting hole. Back-fill the hole with soil, patting the soil firmly into place with your hands or the back of your trowel. To remove the seedling, carefully tip the current container onto its side and attempt to slide the seedling out. If the container is made from flimsy plastic, you can squeeze the sides to help coax the plant out. Otherwise, slide your trowel along one inner side of the container and use the leverage to help lift the plant out from beneath its root mass. Photinia plants need plenty of circulation to thrive. For most varieties, separate photinia shrubs should be planted 15 feet (5 m) apart. Crowded photinia do not receive enough air circulation. When these shrubs lack proper circulation, they can quickly become victims of leaf spot and other fungi. Once all of your photinia shrubs have been planted in your garden, water the soil at the base of each plant using a watering can or garden hose. The soil should be notably damp after you water it. You won't need to apply as much water later on, but this initial heavy dose gives each plant the boost it needs to survive the transplanting process. The water also helps settle the soil.
