Setup, Compatibility & Care
When your 9cm pots arrive, plant them in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Prepare the soil by incorporating organic matter to ensure good drainage. In the first few weeks, water regularly until the root systems are established. To maintain plant health, wait until late spring when fresh green shoots emerge, then cut back old, woody stems to encourage new, vigorous growth. During the coldest months of the year, move containers into a greenhouse or sheltered area, or cover established ground-planted specimens to protect them from severe frost damage.
