  • Soil Preparation: Use well-draining soil enriched with compost. Amend the soil if needed to improve drainage and prevent waterlogging.
  • Planting: Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.
  • Spacing: Space plants 3-4 feet apart to allow for their mature spread and ensure good air circulation.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture during the growing season. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
