If grow more than one flora in a container , make certain that all have alike cultural requirements . Choose a container that is deep and large enough to permit base ontogenesis and growth as well as proportional counterweight between the full developed plant life and the container .

To found container - grow plant : train planting trap with appropriate depth and distance between . irrigate the plant good and let the excess water drain before carefully removing from the container . cautiously loosen the root ballock and invest the plant in the yap , work grime around the base as you fill up . If the plant life is extremely root bound , separate roots with fingers . A few slits made with a sac knife are okay , but should be kept to a minimum . Continue fill up in ground and piddle good , protect from direct Dominicus until static .
To embed bare - origin plants : plant life as presently as possible after leverage . Prepare suitable planting holes , unfold roots and work soil among roots as you fill in . water supply well and protect from verbatim sun until stable .
