Tips to get your plants rooted
Stand back, look your plant straight in the eye, and ask it! No beating around the bush (forgive the pun); simply ask it in a straightforward manner.
No, seriously, most plants take at least 3-4 months-sometimes a complete growing season in colder climates-to become rooted and established.
If you pull up gently on an established plant, there generally will be no “give.” New growth on the plant tips is another sign that your plant is safely on its way.
Incorporating a starter fertilizer into the backfill of the hole and then watering in with a rooting hormone will give your new plants an added boost to help them set down good, solid roots in their new environment.
