- Planting:
- Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the pot.
- Gently remove the Lantana from the pot, being careful not to disturb the roots too much.
- Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.
- Backfill the hole with soil, gently firming it around the base of the plant.
- Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to help settle the soil and establish the roots. Keep the soil consistently moist for the first few weeks.
- Mulching: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Maintenance:
- Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system.
- Once established, Lantana is drought-tolerant and only requires occasional watering.
- Prune lightly after flowering to encourage new growth and maintain shape.
