8 Steps to Plant a Plant the Right Way
Buy healthy plants to give them the best chance of success
Set your plants out before planting to make sure they are planted where you want them
Check the plant roots to make sure there are no girdling roots or roots sticking out of the bottom of the container
Dig your hole the same depth as and twice as wide as your container
Carefully remove your plant from the container and set in the hole
Cover the hole with the native dirt (the exception for planting a non-desert adapted or native plant is to amend the soil with planting soil)
Run irrigation to the new plant
Enjoy your new plant!
