Planting Guide
  • Choose the right location

    Plant in rich, moisture-retentive soil in a location with partial shade, protected from strong afternoon sun. Space plants 3-5 feet apart to allow room for growth. Water regularly, ensuring the soil stays consistently moist but not waterlogged. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer monthly during the growing season. In cooler climates, consider growing in containers that can be brought indoors over winter.
  • Prepare an appropriate hole

    Choose a pot that is 1-2 times larger than the current pot, ensuring there is adequent drainage to prevent waterlogging roots. Plan on repotting every 3-5 years.
  • Use fertile soil

    Choose soil rich in nutrients and with good drainage to support root growth.
  • Plant at the correct depth

    Plant at the same depth as in the pot, keeping the top of the root ball level with the soil.
  • Care and watering

    Water the plant appropriately, keeping the soil moist but not too wet.
