Water the works good and permit the excess piddle drain before cautiously removing from the container . Carefully untie the root ball and place the plant in the hole , working territory around the roots as you fill . If the plant is extremely root ricochet , separate root with fingers . A few slits made with a pocket tongue are okay , but should be kept to a minimum . Continue filling in filth and water thoroughly , protecting from direct sun until unchanging .
To plant bare - root plants : Plant as soon as possible after leverage . fix desirable planting gob , distribute roots and work territory among rootage as you fill in . Water well and protect from direct sun until stable .
