Re-reading the instructions again, just to make sure she won’t forget one step, Gwen checked out what she had to do next. Fill half of pot up with soil and let it rest for several minutes to warm up. This is… acceptable, she thought and was ready to start.

Even though it probably wasn’t necessary, the avenclaw tried to fill EXACTLEY half of the pot. She was going to plant this annoying little fire
making plant just perfectly.

I like the next part- wait ‘till it warms up. Not bad.
