-
Preparation: Dig a hole twice as wide as the pot and the same depth as the root ball.
-
Planting: Remove the plant from its pot, gently loosen roots, and place it in the hole so the crown is level with the soil surface.
-
Backfill: Refill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly.
-
Spacing: Space 12–18 inches apart for good air circulation and mature spread.
