Plant Planting Instructions

    • 1). Use the gardening guides to identify the specific needs of the plants. Different types of plants require different levels of sunlight and water. In general, plants that require little sunlight grow at a slow rate, while light-loving plants are faster growers.

    • 2). Arrange the plants in the planting area. Step back and look at the proposed planting arrangement from different areas. If you are unsure about the amount of light a certain area receives, leave the arranged plants in their pots for an entire day, checking at regular intervals the amount of light they are receiving.

    • 3). Dig a hole in the ground approximately twice the width of the plant and at a depth of 150 percent of the pot height. Backfill the hole with the loosened soil so that the top of the plant's soil will be level with the surrounding garden.

    • 4). Add water and place the plant in the hole.

    • 5). Holding the plant centered with one hand, gently fill in the surrounding hole with soil.

    • 6). Pack the soil down around the plant.

    • 7). Water the plant. Continue watering on a regular basis according to the planting guidelines. Top dress with fertilizer as required by planting guidelines. In general, outdoor plants should be fertilized in the spring or the fall. Applying very little to no fertilizer during hot weather. The type of fertilizer used should fit the type of plant. For example, using a high nitrogen fertilizer on a foliage plant often gives great results. But the same fertilizer can cause a lot of green, but very few flowers on a flowering plant. Indoor plants should be fertilized according to the type of plant and how often they are watered. Most potted plants benefit from a fertilizer application at least once a month. Simply follow the recommended application in terms of quantity and frequency.
