Planting Instructions from a Gallon Pot into the Ground
Site Selection:
Choose a location with full sun to partial shade.
Ensure the soil is well-draining.
Soil Preparation:
Loosen the soil in the planting area to a depth of 12-15 inches.
Mix in compost or organic matter to improve soil fertility and drainage.
Digging the Hole:
Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball of the plant.
Planting:
Remove the Night Blooming Jasmine from the gallon pot.
Gently loosen the roots if they are compacted.
Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
Backfilling:
Fill the hole with soil, firming it gently around the base of the plant.
Water thoroughly to settle the soil and eliminate air pockets.
Mulching:
Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the plant, keeping it away from the stem to prevent rot.
Mulch helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Watering:
Water deeply after planting.
Maintain consistent moisture, especially during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system.
Care:
Prune as needed to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.
Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth and flowering.
