Planting Guide
-
Choose the right location
Choose a site with partial shade to full sun in warmer climates, with rich, consistently moist soil. Plant bulbs 2-3 inches deep and space them about 3-5 feet apart. Water frequently to maintain moist soil, especially during dry periods. Feed monthly with a high-nitrogen fertilizer to promote lush foliage. In colder regions, dig up the bulbs before the first frost and store in a cool, dry place. -
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.
