Planting and Care for Your Tropical Gem

For container-grown plants, gently remove the plant from its container, loosen the roots, and set the root ball slightly higher than ground level in a hole. Backfill with soil mix, tamp lightly, and water thoroughly. For larger plants, build a soil ring to aid in watering until established. Consider staking larger shrubs for support. Fertilize just before and during the active growing cycle with an all-purpose fertilizer, following package directions carefully. Plants are approximately 25-30 inches in height in 1-gallon pot. Plants are shipped without container, but they will be wrapped and fastened safely in our packaging.
